Hyeonseo Lee (Korean: 이현서, born 1981 or 1982) is a North Korean defector and activist who now lives in South Korea, where she is a student. She escaped from North Korea, and later personally guided her family to freedom from the country through China and Laos.
Lee grew up in Hyesan, North Korea. "When I was young, I thought my country was the best on the planet," Lee explained in her TED talk in February 2013. "I grew up singing a song called ‘Nothing to Envy’. I felt very proud. I thought my life in North Korea was normal, even though when I was seven years old, I saw my first public execution." Her family was not poor, but after the North Korean famine struck in the 1990s, she witnessed much suffering and death.
She later recalled a letter her mother received from the sister of a colleague, stating "When you read this, all five family members will not exist in this world, because we haven't eaten for the past two weeks… We are lying on the floor together, and our bodies are so weak we are ready to die." Not long afterwards, Lee "saw another shocking sight outside a train station – a woman was lying on the ground apparently dead, with a starving child in her arms staring at her face." Lee later said, "Nobody helped them, because they were so focused on taking care of themselves and their families."

Frontline was a brilliant Australian comedy show which satirised TV current affairs programs and reporting. Over ten years on, it's still not only hilariously funny, but also a disturbingly accurate take on television "journalism". In this clip from the 1997 episode "The Art of the Interview", Prowsey (Steve Bisley) explains some more of the tricks and tactics of current affairs interviews, from point-scoring to fuelling the emotional fire.

Last month the Pentagon awarded a contract, said to be worth up to $1.5 billion over the next five years, to a shipyard in Gujarat to maintain the Seventh Fleet’s warships and patrol and service vessels. This is a strategic move aimed at giving flesh and blood to last August’s agreement opening India’s military bases and ports to routine use by the US military for the resupply and repair of its warplanes and warships. The transformation of India into a hub for the Seventh Fleet marks a new stage in India’s integration into US imperialism’s military-strategic offensive against China. The Seventh Fleet is at the very center of US plans to wage war on China. It has responsibility for the western Pacific and the eastern stretches of the Indian Ocean up to the India-Pakistan border. US strat...

With a panel of experts we will explore what life is like in Myanmar, the political and ethical divisions, and what change the election will bring.

Hyeonseo Lee was just seventeen when she fled North Korea. She found herself in China, alone and with no identity. Her mother’s first words over the telephone to her lost daughter were “Don’t come back”. In her memoir The Girl with Seven Names, Lee recounts her life inside the secretive and brutal communist regime: the ‘self-criticism’ classes in primary school; forcibly joining the Youth Corps aged nine; and witnessing public executions of people who had not mourned enough for the death of Kim Il-Sung. She describes her escape and brave efforts to persuade her mother and brother to join her. We are pleased to welcome Hyeonseo Lee to the Frontline Club to share her insight into growing up North Korea, the story of her escape and how she went on to rebuild her life and discover her identi...

17/08/2010 - Can everyday people change the world? With conflicts raging across the world and European governments imposing stringent austerity measures, people are wondering more and more how they can play a role in shaping their future. Steve Crawshaw, author of a new book to be published in September entitled Small Acts of Resistance: How Courage, Tenacity, and Ingenuity Can Change the World, will be discussing the potential for individuals to take on injustice and oppression in the world today. Looking at current examples including Iran and Burma we will be discussing what people are able to achieve in the face of the powerful who have armies and police on their side. Are we powerless to change anything or are there acts of defiance, some of which are so small they are missed by the ...

With the breakdown of the Geneva negotiations between the Asad regime and the Syrian opposition, prospects for a resolution, or even a pause, to the conflict in Syria appear dim. The ongoing crisis continues to have profound implications for the broader Middle East, especially for the frontline states of Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. How are Syria's neighbors managing the crisis across their border, the massive flow of refugees, and the tide of extremists and weapons? What are the key risks to the stability of Syria's neighbors and how can those risks be mitigated? Will the violence continue to spread in Lebanon and Iraq? How long can Jordan and Turkey survive the status quo? To address these and other questions related to the regional spillover from the Syria crisis, the ...

Please support your local PBS station at http://www.pbs.org/support "By the most fundamental measure -- the number of people killed -- the perpetrators of mass murder since the beginning of the twentieth century have taken the lives of more people than have died in military conflict. So genocide is worse than war," reiterates Goldhagen.

Right-wing populism is on the rise in Germany and across the world. Lurking behind some of these groups are right-wing extremists, hoping to gain ground. Public protest in Germany is becoming increasingly aggressive. Hate-driven demonstrations against Chancellor Merkel, refugees, democracy and the rule of law have become commonplace. The Pegida marches were followed by the unexpected success of the far-right AfD party in regional elections in 2016 and have evolved into a fully-fledged movement that hopes to carry populists to power. Far-right populism is gaining traction all over the western world, from Britain and the US to France and Germany. Who exactly is driving this development? The documentary 'The Neo-Nazi Network' explores the connections between neo-Nazis and business, and show...
In the last few years, international migration patterns have shifted as migrants take greater chances to reach their destination- either by boat or by land. This issue has come to the forefront following the sinking of a ship suspected of carrying several hundred migrants in the Mediterranean Sea. Despite the inherent dangers of migration, the number of migrants seeking refuge has grown dramatically in Europe, but also in places like Australia and the United States. WAC-DC hosted a panel which explored current migration policy of destination countries and its impact on international politics and the global economy. They discussed the motivations for the migrants to make the perilous journey and the challenges countries face as they struggle to respond to greater numbers of refugees and...

For ordinary South Africans, it was also a month-long reprieve from the usual bad news about crime, corruption, and poverty that has plagued the nation in recent years. But it is only now, months after the World Cup has been over, that South Africa can finally assess how it moves forward and how it overcomes the huge number of challenges it faces.

And this week, it ended with the creation of a regulatory body designed to curb the excesses of Britain's print journalists - the first change to how Britain's press is checked in more than 300 years. The new media watchdog comes after a lengthy Leveson inquiry -- set up in the wake of the phone hacking scandal -- which recommended an independent body backed by legislation. On our lead story this week, we discuss the future of the British press with Stig Abell, the former director of the Press Complaints Commission; author Dan Hind; Natalie Fenton, a media professor; and Kirsty...
Going down,
Down where my breath is the only sound
Going down
Going down,
Going down,
Don't look for me now, all day long,
i'm underground
And I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me,
far away
Let the current carry me awayyyyy
Current flows,
but I don't know where it goes
I don't care,
I just get it there
Took this job,
cause I needed one
Now its seven years,
since I've seen the sun,
All day long I'm underground
And I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me, far away
Let the current carry me awayyyyy
Now been thinking about the future,
I hope some day I'll get away
but the current keeps bringing me,
back around,
seems the only place for me is,
underground.
So tommorrow when the sun comes up,
I'll be going down, going down.
