Liberty in North Korea | LiNK

Posted by Sammy Holt on August 28th, 2009

link_newlogoHey guys, I’ve got a quick question for ya. On a scale from 1-10, just how familiar are you with the refugee crisis and human rights issues facing North Korea?

I, sadly, was but a lowly 1.2for real. That is, until I stumbled across LiNK, a beautiful site devoted to educating people (such as myself) about these hugely important issues. This website, dedicated to putting an end to these crises, provides background on humanitarian and refugee issues as well as information about LiNK’s programs at both home and abroad to aid North Korean people.

The September LiNK will send four teams of “nomads” to travel the US and Canada to raise awareness of the North Korean refugee crisis. These nomads will show a 50-minute documentary called the “Seoul Train” - catchy, eh? This documentary will follow 3 groups of refugees escaping to China through the “modern day underground railroad.” Should be pretty neato!

A little birdie tells me that the LiNK team is currently looking to book as many venues as possible to show this powerfully informative documentary, as well as recruit tons of viewers so they can spread their message far and wide! So, in the spirit of Daily Challenge… I challenge you to view the Seoul Train Trailer and consider either hosting a screening event or attending one yourself!

Have an amazing weekend, good people!
