Somewhere Inside, by Laura and Lisa Ling; The World is Bigger Now, by Euna Lee

*This was written about two weeks before the current news about someone crossing the North Korean border broke.*

Awhile back, I watched a Nat Geo documentary about North Korea, where the journalist was Lisa Ling. I found the documentary interesting. I didn't know that she and her sister had written a book about the time that Laura spent in captivity. I was trying to find something to read to put between the entries of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, just so I don’t end up with three weeks straight of writing about the sane books, and I found Somewhere Inside on the random page in Libby.

I find most unknown things to be fascinating and North Korea is no exception. I often find myself thinking, as I do mundane things, that most people, all around the world do the same things, no matter the culture.

I get up in the morning, get dressed and star my day. People all over do variations on the samething

The experience in North Korea is so different from anything I know, but so similar too. Their political system is different, their freedoms much reduced to my western mindset, but there are still people doing the same things we all do.

Connections can still be made.

Somewhere Inside is interesting because the situation the girls found themselves in was so odd. While on a trip to China for a documentary about North Korean defectors, they follow a guide to the frozen river that served as the best crossing. While walking on this river, they briefly cross over into North Korea. Border Gaurds chase down Laura and Euna and drag them into North Korea.

That begins the five month captivity, much of it in the capital city of Pyongyang. During captivity they were subjected to daily interrogations and threatened with long prison sentences, eventually culminating in a trial where both woman were sentenced to 12 years hard labor. This was in part due to the fact that they were coheresed into a confession of wanting to harm the Democatic People's Republic of North Korea.

Eventually, they were released when Bill Clinton was allowed to come and apologize and take them home.

The World is Bigger Now is Euna Lee, the documentary's editor's side of the story. Through most of the captivity, the two woman were held separately. It almost feels as if Euna, originally from South Korea, was treated more harshly, or that could have been her mindset. Laura never thought that they were going to be killed. Euna, however, frequently wondered if they were going to simply kill her.

Somewhere Inside's narritive is split between Laura in her captivity and Lisa doing everything she could in the US, to get her and Euna home.

Both books are inspirational stories Laura and Euna did endure a frightening and traumatizing time in a country whose people are taught that Americans are enemies and want to make their lives worse. During this captivity, both able to make connections with their guards, and their interrogato, and in Laura's case, her interpreter. The young woman who gaurd them like music, and tv, have families, and act silly. Laura's interrogator is a feeling man who doesn't like sending people to prison, and when he feels like he can, is almost brotherly to Laura.

It is important to say, that besides their being held prisoner, and the beating they recived upon being drug nack over the border, (Which I get the feeling was not looked kindly on by people who were tasked to care for them),all the physical hardships that the girls suffer,are suffered by the citizens of the DPRK. The frequent power outages, the cold. They were likely fed better than the average citizen could afford.

This is not to defend the mental torment that was afflicted on to them, its just true.

It shouldn't have happened. They should not have been lead to that area to film, they shouldn't have *asked* to be taken to that area to film, they shouldn't have crossed over, the guards shouldn't have chased them down and they should not have been held. My feeling is that the guide double crossed them.

They showed amazing fortitude during their captivity, even if they, out of fear and not knowing any better, did some not too smart things.

Now, I have to say that what struck me most is the fact that Laura's story in particular shows the amazing privilege of people in the media.

I think that Laura and Euna got out as fast as they did, entirely because of Lisa Ling's connections. Not only did Laura and Euna work for Al Gore's TV network, but Lisa has contacts high up in CNN and other media (Anderson Cooper and Oprah). I mean, shit, she knew someone who knew then sitting President Obama's sister and was able to get a letter to the man himself through that contact.

Now, I don't blame her in the slightest for utilizing those contacts. If it were someone in my family, and I had a way to get the ear of people in the Whitehouse or Hollywood, you better believe I would do it! The point is, if this naive and reckless film crew would have been a group of independent documentarians without connections to the who's who of government and media, would they have been able to get Bill Clinton to fly over there amid nuclear tests and government officials sniping at each other?

I don't know the answer to that, but the cynical side of me has its doubts.

There of course, is a flipside here, if they had. Not been working for a former vice president, and Laura had not been related to someone who was known in North Korea an an enemy, would they have been held held as political bargaining chips? Again, I don't know.

They are interesting books, that made me think.

C’est la vie con Lisa Ling: Cancelado por CNN; Sin décima temporada para series documentales: programas de televisión cancelados + renovados

por Regina Ávalos, 18 de noviembre de 2022 This Is Life with Lisa Ling está llegando a su fin con su próxima novena temporada. La serie documental regresa a CNN con una temporada de seis episodios en 27 de noviembre. Ling reveló a Los Angeles Times que no habrá una décima temporada del programa en la que explore los márgenes de la sociedad. Ling dijo lo siguiente sobre el final de la popular…

[allieinarden]

Every episode I would pitch to the Simpsons writers room:

Bouvier woman family trip past trauma exploration episode set at the location from “The Wife Aquatic” with just Marge, her mom and sisters, Lisa, Maggie and Ling (Homer and Bart are at home having a way funnier episode but you don’t get to see it)

Maggie and Bart episode where it turns out Homer and Marge were subtly intervening between them this whole time because they were afraid Maggie would be a bad influence on Bart (they were right)

(Can be combined with either of above:) Maggie focus episode where you announce beforehand that Danny DeVito is in it so that everybody gets excited thinking Herb is coming back, but he’s actually voicing Maggie (via Herb voicing Herb’s baby translator) throughout the story

Bart is able to get into a veteran’s convention because Homer lied about Bart being a veteran on their taxes, but Skinner is also there

Groundskeeper Willie has a Burns Supper and Mr. Burns is the only one who shows up because he thinks it’s for him

Neighborhood kids team up to personally deal with latest Sideshow Bob prison break because they’re sick of their parents keeping them indoors for a week every time this happens (Rod Flanders is the main character and Laura Powers is the secondary lead)

“Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead”-type episode about Snowball II and Santa’s Little Helper on the margins of a typical plot (they talk)

Normal Bart and Lisa sibling rivalry episode but I get to write it

Sunshine Sachs must've called in a LOT of favors to get so many famous names on board the Archetypes Podcast and the 40x40 project. Vanity projects that went... nowhere.

Without Sunshine Sachs, IMO it's highly unlikely that M will ever be able to reach the same level of celebrity access on her own.

Atlas Knight Murderer?

Setting - After what was thought to be his death, The Atlas Knight, aka Jaune Arc, has come back from the dead! But something's not right about him.

Lisa: (On TV) Herbert Merlot, former doctor of biology of the Kingdom of Vale, once thought to be dead, had returned and taken an entire daycare center hostage. After an extensive stand-off between Merlot and Atlas Ace-Ops Specialists, the mad scientist has finally been apprehended and is now in Atlas custody. However, although Merlot has been arrested, this tale is not without it's own tragedy. Moments before his capture, Merlot had taken the life of Mi Ling Mount. He was only four years old.

---------------------------------------------------

Merlot: (Guided to the Atlas prison)

Atlas Knight: EXCUSE ME, SPECIALISTS. I'D LIKE A WORD WITH YOUR PRISONER. (Grabs Merlot)

Merlot: What?! You can't-

Atlas Knight: (Rockets around through Atlas, Holding Merlot by his collar)

Merlot: Y-You can't do this! I have rights! There's nothing I have to say to you!

Atlas Knight: WHAT ABOUT, "GOOD-BYE"?

Merlot: (Gasps)

Atlas Knight: (Immediately stops, Lets go)

Merlot: (Flies into Atlas HQ wall at Mach 10, Splattered)

Marrow: Oh my god!

Harriet: Did you just see that?

Elm: The Atlas Knight just-

Clover: (Looks from smear to Atlas Knight)

Atlas Knight: (Rockets away)
