SIOUX CENTER, Iowa -- A team of Liberty in North Korea volunteers on a 10-week trek across America will be at Dordt College Nov. 11 to screen a documentary and share their stories about the human rights crisis in North Korea.

The 50-minute documentary Seoul Train will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 11 in the Science Building lecture hall S101. The public is invited.

Seoul Train chronicles the attempts of hundreds of thousands of North Korean refugees to escape and the efforts of a small group of activists to help them reach freedom.

North Korea today is under the control of the dictator Kim Jong Il, whose father Kim Sung Il founded communist North Korea. The country makes headlines with its nuclear weapons program and long-range ballistic missile programs, but news programs seldom describe the widespread famine and gross human rights violations of people living there.

Dordt video students to show travelogue

SIOUX CENTER, IA - On Nov. 14, Dordt College students will present a video show to some of the poorest places on earth, presenting a behind-the-scenes view of the making of The Slum Documentary Film Project. The show is at 7 p.m. in the B. J. Haan Auditorium.

Several Dordt students have been working with Professor Mark Volkers to film stories about individuals and families who live in slums. The group spent a week filming a family living under a bridge in the Philippines and has chronicled the lives of two single women who live in the notorious slum, "La Limonada," in Guatemala City.

Twelve students and Volkers will travel to Nairobi, Kenya, during Christmas break to film a family in Mathare Valley, one of the largest slums in Africa. This will be the third and final film trip for their documentary film project.

The admission fee will help students cover the cost of traveling to Africa. The cost is $5 for adults and $3.50 for students; children 12 and under will be admitted free.
