June 2, 2010 -- Laura Ling was vice president of Current TV’s investigative journalism series Vanguard, and served as an on-air correspondent for the show when she and her colleague Euna Lee were apprehended and imprisoned in North Korea last year. On March 17, 2009, Laura Ling and Lee were working on a documentary about North Korean defectors when they were chased down by North Korean soldiers, violently apprehended, charged and imprisoned. They endured months of interrogations and eventually a trial before they were sentenced to twelve years of hard labor in a prison camp in North Korea. When news of the arrest reached Laura’s sister, journalist Lisa Ling, she immediately began a campaign to get her sister released, one that led her from the State Department to the higher echelons of the media world and eventually to the White House. Laura Ling discusses their book SOMEWHERE INSIDE: One Sister’s Captivity in North Korea and the Other’s Fight to Bring Her Home, which reveals for the first time Laura’s gripping account of what really happened and Lisa’s unrelenting efforts to secure Laura and Euna’s release.
