Tourist pix of North Korea: Paul Koontz on TED.com
While in Asia in 2007, TEDster Paul Koontz got the priceless chance to spend a few days in North Korea. He brought his kids and his camera, capturing both quotidian detail (like the military bearing of a lonely traffic warden) and the grand spectacle leading up to the Mass Games. This short slideshow gives a rare perspective on a culture that the rest of us know far too little about. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, California. Duration: 06:23.)

Trapped: Mental Illness in America’s Prisons
by Jenn Ackerman
What started out as an assignment for school has produced a piece that has changed my life and hopefully will do the same for the people that view it. That was my hope when producing it at least. Ten weeks ago, we (my grad class at OU) were given the assignment to create a magazine including the brand, the mission statement and of course the content.
For this project, I decided to focus on the mental health crisis, specifically in prisons. This brought me to the CPTU inside the Kentucky State Reformatory.
