This Thursday, April 12, George Fox welcomes back the Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) nomad team for its spring tour, “The People’s Tour,” a new presentation and documentary about the daily struggles of people in North Korea. Join us at 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.
The event is free and open to the public. Merchandise will be sold onsite.
About the presentation:
The death of Kim Jong-il has brought renewed focus on North Korea. But too often that focus is dominated by concerns over nuclear weapons or security issues or on the attitudes of its recluse leaders. But despite changes at the top of the leadership in Pyongyang, the harsh reality of life for ordinary North Koreans goes on.
The North Korean people are living under the most ruthless system of political repression ever assembled. They have suffered through humanitarian disasters, crippling poverty, chronic food shortages and a denial of even the most basic freedoms.
The People’s Tour will redefine the North Korea crisis by highlighting the suffering and stories of the North Korean people. LiNK is promoting an approach to North Korea that will be defined and created by the North Korean people.
This Thursday, join the North Korean people’s struggle by learning more about this crisis and how you can get involved.
Join the movement. Fight for a common liberty.
