A Special Presentation:
Liberty for North Korea

LINK is a grassroots group raising awareness about the human rights crisis in North Korea. Four LiNK “Nomads” will be coming from Los Angeles to show the film Inside North Korea and lead the discussion.
Where skeptics would argue that the future of North Korea is already written, a collective of passionate individuals – LiNK Nomads – are standing to say that the ink is not yet dry. They have instead chosen to bring this crisis out of the shadows to empower more North Korean refugees.
Inside North Korea is hosted by Lisa Ling, field correspondent for The Oprah Winfrey Show and sister of Laura Ling, one of the two American journalists recently detained in North Korea.
Last night’s film got me thinking about mind control, which can be used for positive or negative outcomes. For example, we can control our thoughts. We can choose to stop ourselves when our thoughts become counterproductive. We create our experiences to a great extent based on what we choose to allow ourselves to focus on.
