A video about Refugees set to Suheir Hammad's piece on the K-Salaam hip-hop album. The pictures in this video were not taken by me. I only arranged into an original slideshow. The Dafur pictures were from National Geographic: Surviving Dafur: African Refugee Life I had to do some research, but found out that the New Orleans pictures were taken by a photographer named Jacob Applebaum. Thank you to everyone for the positive feedback on this video. I hope to make many more soon. If I find any comments to be offensive to any group of people, I will delete them. less

October 2007 They risk all trying to make it across the North Korean border to China, only to find no guarantee of a better life. At constant risk of being deported, these refugees live a half life in the shadows. "I thought if I came to China life would be better", laments one woman. "I was wrong". Without Chinese language skills, most North Korean refugees remain at risk of being discovered by the police. "The police pay 200 yuan to anyone who discloses the whereabouts of North Koreans", explains one refugee. "That's what I'm most afraid of. I'm always hiding". Easy prey for the unscrupulous, they're forced to do dangerous jobs for little money. "Most North Korean women fall into the hands of human traffickers", states activist Tim Peters. "They're sold into prostitution". Unlike other countries, China classes North Korean refugees as economic migrants. If caught, they face return to Pyongyang and almost certain execution. "North Koreans are being sent back by the hundreds", complains Peters. Without external pressure, the situation for these refugees is unlikely to improve. Their only hope is that scrutiny surrounding the 2008 Beijing Olympics will encourage China to change its policy. less
