DESCRIPTION:Film and Discussion With a New Perspective on North Korea\nThe situation 
 regarding North Korea has been described mostly from a geopolitical 
 standpoint, in which terms such as polarizing, dauntingly complex, and a 
 political nightmare often come to mind. The news about this shadowy nation 
 mostly relates to political and security issues, the nature of which create 
 isolation from the global community. To counter the limited information 
 coming from the mass media, an organization called LiNK (Liberty in North 
 Korea) is working to re-focus the conversation on the North Korean people 
 instead, by bringing a new level of attention to their stories.\n\nThrough 
 its Shift campaign - toward "shifting" the view of North Korea from its 
 politics to its people - LiNK runs national tours, produces media, and puts 
 on events that spread awareness about the struggles and hopes of North 
 Koreans. PASMC will host one of these events on Saturday, October 20, 7 PM 
 at the Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo, 300 E. Santa Inez Avenue (at 
 Ellsworth) in San Mateo.\n\nMichelle Sham will lead a group of three 
 California-based "Shift Nomads" (as the young traveling presenters call 
 themselves) who will begin with an overview of the campaign. They will next 
 present a 50-minute documentary film, "The People's Crisis", and a shorter 
 video about the campaign. The evening will conclude with a discussion about 
 the film, the campaign, LiNK's programs, and how people can get 
 involved.\n\nLiNK is a full-time grassroots organization in North America 
 devoted to the North Korean human rights and humanitarian crises. LiNK's 
 global movement seeks to raise awareness of these crises and provides a way 
 for concerned citizens to take part in bringing about effective change to 
 help the North Korean people. LiNK is also developing people-focused 
 strategies with the potential to promote change inside North Korea for the 
 long term.\nDon't miss this unique take on North Korea. The UU is 
 wheelchair accessible.\n
