  • Otto Warmbier: The American Student North Korea Broke
    Jan 22 2026

    In January 2016, a 21-year-old American college student named Otto Warmbier entered North Korea as part of a guided tourist group.Five days later, he was arrested.What followed was a sequence of events that shocked the world — a televised confession, a closed trial, a harsh sentence, and 17 months of silence inside one of the most secretive regimes on Earth.When Otto Warmbier was finally released in June 2017, he was in a coma.He died just days after returning home to the United States.This documentary reconstructs Otto’s journey — from his upbringing in Ohio, to the night he was detained in Pyongyang, to the unanswered questions surrounding his imprisonment, medical condition, and death.Using verified timelines, court footage, official statements, and medical findings, we examine: • Who Otto Warmbier was before North Korea • What happened inside the regime’s detention system • Why his case became a turning point in U.S.–North Korea relations • And how a single tourist trip became a global diplomatic crisisThis is not a political argument.It is a human story — about power, isolation, and the cost of crossing invisible lines.Welcome to Redacted Black Files.
