Under Enver Hoxha, Albania became a country sealed like a bunker, run by a dictator who found even Stalin's Russia and Mao's China too liberal. People were exiled overnight for being born into the wrong family or for thinking aloud at home. Victims and those who crushed them speak in turn, about revolts in the camps, fatal attempts to flee and lives sacrificed to an ideological paradise.
