The hardship of a life lived in the shadows of China is
unimaginable to me. I live a life of
complete comfort and liberty. I have the
right to freely move about wherever I please and make a life for myself how I
see fit.
When I think of this, I’m struck with compassion for those
who suffer all around the world. I
reflect on how bad it must be for those who flee their homeland. Why must the world suffer such
injustice? What will it take for all of
us to refocus our attention to what really matters?
The good people of North Korea are a proud and incredibly resilient
people. They continue to endure extreme hardships
that would challenge the will of any man.
So, they escape hell on earth with the hopes and dreams of a better life
only to jump into another frying pan.
Now, they are lost in a world that they do not understand nor belong.
“Tears of the Sun: Jin’s Story” (title name change in
progress :D) is a project that I’ve
begun to spread awareness to the problems facing the people of North
Korea. We will use animation to tell a not
to uncommon story of a North Korean family caught up in a world wind of change
as they are torn from a life of privilege in P’yonyang and subjected to
unspeakable crimes, acts of violence and persecution. Harsh conditions of life force the family to
make tough decisions that will undoubtedly alter the course of their lives.
As I work on this project, I’m continually reminded of the
responsibility that I and every one of us have to help humanity and spread
liberty for mankind. It could come in
the form of giving to a respectable non-profit like LiNK, doing a creative
project like me, or by simply speaking to friends about the crisis. All acts such as these are worthy
causes. We must stay vigilant and
actively continue to protect life and liberty in all parts of the world. So, get involved and be active!!! XD
With great humility and compassion,
Frank, CO
