I Am Kirishima

The film tells the story of Hiroshi Uchida, a 70-year-old man who, on his deathbed, reveals that he is actually Satoshi Kirishima, a fugitive linked to a notorious bombing campaign in the 1970s. This confession comes shortly before his death on January 29th, 2024. For decades, Kirishima evaded capture while living a quiet life as a day-labourer, earning the affection of his neighbors who knew him as "Ucchan."

I Am Kirishima delves into themes of identity, solitude, and the impact of one's past on the present. The film features a robust cast, including Katsuya Maiguma, Eita Okuno, and Kana Kita, who bring depth to this compelling narrative. The story unfolds in an era marked by political unrest and personal struggles, making it particularly relevant for those interested in dramatic portrayals of historical events and their human consequences.
