The controversial film "The Interview" may have been put on the backburner by Sony following public threats, but an activist group is planning to drop DVDs of the movies in North Korea using balloons.
According to CNN, Human Rights Foundation founder Thor Halvorssen says the group plans on buying copies of "The Interview"-which depicts the assassination of North Korea's leader-and including them in upcoming balloon drops over North Korea.
The group is hoping that the movie will be released in an alternate format soon.
The Human Rights Foundation along with groups in South Korea has started an initiative where they drop balloons filled with banned articles into North Korea.
The group named "Fighters for a Free North Korea," has successfully carried out multiple balloon launches into the suppressed country.
