At the risk of sounding shallow, it's a downer to illustrate freedom with two men who survived a labor camp and a prison.  I watched only the first fifteen minutes, so maybe later in the episode it gets into actual struggles for freedom (and not the generic references to the Black Panthers), but I definitely didn't feel uplifted, as the opening speech implied I would.  Also, I found how the Korean man learned to be human by falling in love, getting married, and fathering a child a worrying sequence, when as a boy he favored the guards over his own parents; surely there should've been therapy or something else as a transition.  Still, Freeman is as always a great narrator.
