In this footage we begin our walk for peace in North Korea at the famous Arch of Reunification in Pyongyang. Thousands of North Korean women joined us there. 

I'm @colbay on Twitter and Periscope. I went to cross the Korean DMZ on May 24, 2015 with a delegation of 30 scholars, activists, artists, writers, film makers to bring global attention to the need for a Peace Treaty there. I live streamed from North Korea to bring everyone along on this amazing journey via a mobile app called Periscope. 

Unfortunately Periscope deletes all streams after 24 hours so I've uploaded the raw footage from them here. In the videos you hear me sometimes responding to comments by viewers, the visual overlay of which, also unfortunately, there was no way to save. On the other hand, often it was inappropriate or impossible for me to talk in the context shown, so there's no ongoing commentary by me.

These were the first live streaming of its kind from inside North Korea. Details on the tech front here: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/21/north-korea-gloria-steinem-periscope-pyongyang
