She survived famine, human trafficking, forced labour and imprisonment in North Korea before escaping across borders to rebuild her life in the UK. She was betrayed, sold as a bride in China and later dragged back across the border to a labour camp. The second time, she risked everything to find her son and begin a journey that would finally lead to freedom. Victoria Derbyshire has spent decades as one of the UK's most trusted journalists, breaking major stories and leading some of the most powerful interviews on radio and television. Now with Unbelievable Britain, she'll prove the most unbelievable stories aren’t fiction… they’re happening right here. Extraordinary people with stories that reveal who we really are as a nation, surprising, inspiring, and sometimes hard to believe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
