Kimu no Juujika (Kim's Cross) is a 1990 movie based on the novel of the same name by Wada Noboru. It tells the story of Koreans forced into slave labor in Japan during the waning days of World War II. This is still a touchy subject in Japan, and the movie shies away from the worst excesses of the Japanese colonial regime, which included forcing Korean women into prostitution. Still, it's a forceful indictment of Japanese policy, wrapped in a story of spiritual redemption.

The story begins in 1944. The Kims are a family of tenant farmers barely scraping by. The father, Henju, must pay 70% of his crops as "rent" for what used to be his own family's farm.
