In 1979, aged only seven, Monica Macias was transplanted from West
Africa to the unfamiliar surroundings of North Korea. She was sent
by her father Francisco, the first president of post-Independence
Equatorial Guinea, to be educated under the guardianship of his
ally, Kim Il Sung. Within months, her father was executed in a
military coup; her mother became unreachable. Effectively orphaned,
she and two siblings had to make their life in Pyongyang. At
military boarding school, Monica learned to mix with older
children, speak fluent Korean and handle weapons on training
exercises. After university, she went in search of her roots,
passing through Beijing, Seoul, Madrid, Guinea, New York and
finally London - forced at every step to reckon with damning
perceptions of her adoptive homeland. Optimistic yet unflinching,
Monica's astonishing and unique story challenges us to see the
world through different eyes.
