Sell Me: I Am from North Korea
On her 15th birthday, Jisun, a North Korean girl, decides to sell herself to
an old man to buy medication for her dying mother.
But after risking her life by crossing into China, she learns that her under-developed body is not-sellable. Will she survive as she struggles in a merciless foreign land where her very existence is illegal?
Performed at the U.S. Capitol Center, this powerful and fast-paced solo piece is inspired by the true stories of incredibly courageous female North Korean defectors.
'Excellent... important' Henry Song (North Korean Human Rights Activist)
