1) Write a short summary (paragraph or more) of the show.
2) Answer these guestions:

EXTRA CREDIT: - Can replace 3 homework grades or can take 15 points on a TEST or 25 points on a QUIZ (up to and not to exceed 100 points on the assessment)

***Also, there is another (perhaps more interesting) look at life in North Korea online. It is called "The VICE guide to North Korea"...I don't know much about the program VICE, but the inside look at life under the KIM dynasty is interesting. I can't offer extra credit for that, but you can feel free to watch it if you are interested. 

***Camp 14 documents the life and escape of a North Korean man who was born in a N. Korean prison camp, and who escaped to freedom. VERY interesting and haunting look into unthinkable conditions and "choiceless choices" some people face under Communist oppression.
