North Korea remains one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented countries in the United States. The problem is twofold. First, North Korea is a very isolated and closed society, which makes accurate and reliable information about the country difficult to obtain. Second, history and politics influence Western portrayal of North Korea, which is often one-sided and narrowly focused on negative issues such as the nuclear weapons program. While both challenges have eased in recent times, American students largely remain uneducated about North Korea, lacking the proper context with which to understand and interpret today's current events. Uncovering North Korea seeks to fill this gap and strives to bring more accurate information and objectivity to the study of North Korea in U.S. high schools and beyond.

After being dumped by her boyfriend, a woman can't find a decent job, so does writing on the side. People say her writing on poverty is good, but she can't sell it and continues her dead-end factory and hostess jobs and occasional heavy drinking. She gets together with another aspiring writer who can't sell his work either. Despite she doing all she can for him and his TB, he abuses her verbally and eventually physically. She walks out, comes back, walks out again. A kind man helps her occasionally, but she rejects his proposal. Based on a novel by Fumiko Hayashi.
