I had met a real defector from North Korea a couple years ago and after doing extensive research - this cause affected me so deeply. I hope to help speak for those who are not allowed to speak in North Korea, and tell the story of those who are ignored by the international community.
"In my city Pyongyang, the streets are desolate. There is a steely silence that engulfs the entire city. There is an artificial equality and there are heartbeats within citizens, but no one is truly living. The trains and the trams are running but no one is going anywhere because fear has paralyzed every living being. Arirang means beautiful country. But my country is no longer beautiful. I laugh here because my people cannot laugh there. I speak here because their voice is not heard there. I hope here because there is no hope there. I live here because there is no life there."
