LAOGAI: Inside China's Gulag (CBC Television)

From the Canadian documentary television series, "Witness" (1992 - 2004), this is a look inside China's forced labor camps. Harry Wu spent 19 years in a "re-education through labor" or laogai, a Chinese labor camp system originally modeled after the Soviet Gulag. In 1957, Wu was sentenced to life at age 21 for expressing his views about Chinese Communism, then released in 1979.

Wu established the Laogai Research Foundation in 1992 to promote public awareness about laogai and how the Chinese government profits from goods produced in the labor camps, then sells in domestic and international markets with the cooperation of other governments.
