More Details

Summary:

"As World War II nears its end, the small island of Hashima (nicknamed "Battleship Island") off the coast of Nagasaki is the site of a massive coal mine where 400 Koreans live in deplorable conditions as conscripted laborers. Tensions run high between the Japanese soldiers who maintain order with shocking cruelty and violence, and the Koreans who have been tricked or forced into coming there. Then, just as the island's dark secrets are revealed, the Koreans plot a dramatic escape."--Container.
