“North Koreans are quietly resisting and creating bottom-up change inside the country.”
Knowledge about North Korea often stops at Kim Jong Un and nuclear weapons. For a more nuanced and complete view of the country, we need to take a closer look at the 26 million people who call it home.
Through in-depth interviews with North Koreans who have escaped and insight from issue experts, this course will expand your understanding of the current state of North Korea, the shifting forces within the country, and the vital role people like you play by offering support from the outside.
This initial module will take a deep dive into how North Koreans are learning about the outside world through South Korean dramas, illegal phone calls with their families, and more despite the regime’s intensifying crackdowns.
