Our Homeland

From the late 1950s through the '70s, more than 90,000 of the ethnic Koreans in Japan emigrated to North Korea, a country that promised them affluence, justice, and an end to discrimination.

For the first time in 25 years, Sonho is reunited with his family in Tokyo after being allowed to undergo an operation there.
