Lisa & Laura Ling

A sisterly bond is like no other, and in the case of today's guests, their bond is practically a superpower. In this episode of WFU, Rachel & Rodger sit down with award-winning journalists and sisters, Lisa & Laura Ling. When Laura was captured in 2009 while reporting a story near the Chinese-North Korean border and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor, Lisa sprung into action and did not stop until her sister was released. They detailed their experience in the 2010 memoir that they co-wrote together, Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home. This episode is such a powerful story that proves that love has no bounds, so please this very special conversation. And if you have a sister of your own, hug her a little bit longer the next time you see her! Learn more about your ad choices.
