A human-rights organization is trying to influence people living in one of the most closed societies in the world with nothing more than USB sticks.
Earlier this year, the Human Rights Foundation launched "Flash Drives for Freedom," with the goal of changing the totalitarian system of North Korea to a more free and open society by delivering information and education, instead of relying on diplomacy or military action.
Roughly 10,000 drives loaded with "subversive" content will be delivered to the country by the end of this year.
"Truth is an incredibly dangerous weapon," Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer for the Human Rights Foundation, told Business Insider.

Often referred to as the "Hermit Kingdom," North Korea is one of the most closed societies in the world.
Its 24 million citizens live under the control of dictator Kim Jong Un and its myriad laws, which regulate everything from haircuts and dress to the use of electronics.
North Koreans are not supposed to have "unapproved" electronics like portable DVD players, but many get them anyway on the black market. Besides playing DVDs, many players can read USB or external hard drives.
