Empire of the Sun

This story is based on J. G. Ballard’s autobiographical novel. It tells about a boy named James Graham, who’s life was privileged until the Japanese invade Shanghai in December 1941. He is separated from his parents and eventually taken into Soo Chow prison camp. It lies next to an airfield that was captured by China. Jim tries to rebuild his life despite the hunger and sickness in the camp while trying to bring dignity and spirit to all those who are around him. Jeff Hansen
