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.
