Escape from North Korea | Timothy Cho

What an incredible story! A two-time North Korean escapee, Timothy endured unimaginable horrors as a child and in prison. Against all odds, Chinese authorities were pressured into allowing him to fly to freedom as a refugee. Now, as a UK citizen, he's on a mission to speak up for those whose voices can't be heard.
