Description

"Seeing dead bodies on the street was a part of everyday life." Growing up in North Korea, Yeonmi Park says she survived the great famine of the 1990s by foraging for grasshoppers and dragonflies. Today she is a human rights activist living in Chicago. How she got from there to here is the story of a lifetime. And it's the subject of this special edition of GZERO World.

Welcome to the GZERO, a world made volatile by an intensifying international battle for power and influence.
