GULAG - A Documentary on Stalinist Labor Camps, Part 2

This clip is also from GULAG, a documentary by Angus Macqueen which tells the story of Soviet forced-labor camps, and their prisoners, during the Stalinist age.  Using their own words, and expressing personal anguish, people who were there provide histories which are both utterly sad and totally shocking.

In this segment, GULAG survivors describe how they worked twelve hours a day and - if they made quota - were given a loaf of bread to eat.  If they didn't achieve their required daily goals, they were given a half-loaf of bread.
