ABDUCTION The Megumi Yokota Story up for PBS Audience Award

I previously blogged about the abduction issue between the DPRK and Japan. Many of you viewed an introduction to Patty Kim's documentary ABDUCTION, The Megumi Yokota Story. On 07 July 08, Patty was featured on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. It was the first time a network news broadcast had told the story of Megumi Yokota. Patty's documentary "ABDUCTION The Megumi Yokota Story" has been nominated for a PBS Audience Award following its very successful US Television premiere recently.The film makers, Patty Kim and Chris Sheridan, would like me to relay their thanks to all that showed their support. I ask that you take a moment to review the short clip and take a moment to vote for the film. All votes must be cast by this Friday evening in order for them to count.
