In this uniquely sobering SITC interview, Ms. Park details her early years: foraging for plants and eating bugs to stay alive in "Socialist Paradise," her family's involvement in the black market, escaping to China and being sold into slavery, and seeking freedom in South Korea by way of the Gobi Desert.
