ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“A River in Darkness” by Masaji Ishikawa is a harrowing memoir that details the author’s journey from a life of hardship in Japan to the oppressive regime of North Korea. Born to a Japanese mother and a Korean father, Ishikawa’s family moved to North Korea, believing it to be a promised land. However, they quickly faced poverty, forced labor, and brutal conditions under Kim Il-sung's regime. The book explores themes of survival, the human spirit's resilience, and the emotional toll of escape. Ishikawa's powerful narrative sheds light on the severe realities of life in North Korea.
