00:00From the multi-award winning director of Batu's Bioscope and the parade, the truth is now told
00:15about a merciless totalitarian regime in its purest form.
00:28In South Korea, most are unaware that today, a quarter million men, women and children
00:33are enslaved in North Korean camps.
00:44It is likely that millions have died in the camps.
00:47Very few survive.
01:00In spite of their suffering, the powers of the world do nothing to help.
01:19The people in the camps believe no one outside of North Korea knows about their existence.

01:27Yet miraculously, some individuals have managed to escape the camps and have found their way
01:32to South Korea.
01:35Determined to make the world listen, the refugees work together and create a musical
01:46about their life in the North Korean gulag.
02:03There are many who would like to stop them.
02:10Risking the lives of themselves and their families, they are determined to bring their
02:15stories to the world.

02:53It starved them and tortured them.
02:55It was sure they would be silenced forever.
02:58But now a few have escaped and their voices ring out to the world.
03:02It is time to listen.
