Little Pyongyang
Video 3 August 2018
Joong-wha Choi, a former soldier in North Korea,
lives today with his wife and children in a sleepy London
suburb,
home to Europe's biggest North Korean population.
Despite enjoying the new found comforts of his British life,
and being emancipated from the pressures of the North Korean
state,
he has a desire to return to the land that betrayed him,
and
feels like his true home.
Joong-wha reflects
on both why he left North Korea
and the state of his day to day life
over the course of
several months,
in a portrait of loss, longing,
and the complexities of
healing from trauma.

If It Were My Home
The headlines tell a lot about the crisis in Yemen:
internal strife, evacuations of international aid workers,
Saudi Arabian airstrikes.
But you may have one very basic question
that you can't easily find an answer for:
How big is Yemen,
anyway?
You can look at maps
and check out Wikipedia
but wouldn't it be great
to just to slap an outline of Yemen
on top of a map of the United States
to get a sense of its size?
IfItWereMyHome.com
lets you do just that.
