| Dear Friends: The Washington, D.C. premiere of the powerful play, “SELL ME: I AM FROM NORTH KOREA” will be held this Thursday, September 14, at 5 p.m. at the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) in Washington, D.C. [South Orientation Theater CVC 241]. PLEASE RSVP to attend this special performance! Special remarks will be given by Congresswoman Carol Miller (WV-01), the host of this extraordinary event; a special appearance by North Korean defector and author Ms. Hyeonseo Lee, and a Q&A with the actress Sora Baek moderated by Kristina Olney. As news is coming out of China that thousands of North Korean refugees detained during the COVID pandemic are in the process of being repatriated back to North Korea, it is more urgent than ever to call on the Chinese government to stop its forced repatriation policy. Please join us on Thursday and GET INVOLVED! SYNOPSIS On her 15th birthday, Jisun, a North Korean girl, makes the heart-wrenching decision to sell herself to an old Chinese man to make money for her dying mother’s medications. However, after risking everything by crossing the Tumen River into China, she learns that she is not sellable and finds herself on the streets. To RSVP, please click here.
