North Korean defector Shin Dong-Hyuk confesses he betrayed his family. Upon reporting his mother's plan to escape their country, she was hung. His brother was shot. While he'd apologize if he could travel back in time, he never felt emotionally connected with them enough to feel sadness. After all the slave labor camp in which he was born and raised in allowed limited time for families to bond.

Born in a prison camp, Shin Dong-hyuk describes how three generations of a family are incarcerated if one family member is considered disloyal. Anderson Cooper reports

Lee Hyeon-Seo shares her challenging journey of bringing her family to South Korea. Listen to her story and you'll see why luck plays a significant role in escaping successfully.

As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee thought her country was "the best on the planet." It wasn't until the famine of the 90s that she began to wonder. She escaped the country at 14, to begin a life in hiding, as a refugee in China.
