The People’s Crisis (2012, 54 min), by Liberty in North Korea [LiNK]
Join Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) and BloomBars community arts space for a film screening and discussion of The People’s Crisis – The real crisis in North Korea is not about its reclusive leaders or its nuclear weapons. It is about 24 million people living under the most ruthless system of political oppression ever assembled by humankind. The North Korean people have suffered through crippling poverty, humanitarian disasters, chronic food shortages and a denial of even the most basic freedoms.
This documentary offers a comprehensive overview of the North Korean people's crisis, featuring interviews with North Korean refugees who have escaped, their journey to freedom, expert analysis, and insight into some of the grassroots changes happening inside the country.
For our discussion we will speak with Justin Artoff, Chi Ko, and Sonny Van – who are all current LiNK Nomads (or, traveling representatives). We’ll talk about the film and about LiNK's campaign to raise awareness about the human rights and humanitarian crisis in North Korea.
