I Am Ichihashi: Journal of a Murderer (I am ICHIHASHI逮捕されるまで, I am Ichihashi Taiho Sareru made?) is a 2013 Japanese film directed by and starring Dean Fujioka in the title role. The film was released in Japan on 9 November 2013.[1] Based on the book Until I was Arrested by Tatsuya Ichihashi, the film portrays the two and a half years in which Ichihashi remained on the run following the murder of Lindsay Hawker in March 2007 until his arrest in November 2009.[1]

Cast[edit]

The theme song, "My Dimension", is also sung by Dean Fujioka.[2]

Production[edit]

The family of the deceased Lindsay Ann Hawker were not contacted by the producers during the filming of the movie, and Ichihashi refused to meet with Fujioka before filming started.[1] The production company has no plans to donate profits from the film to the Hawker family, as they have already refused to accept royalties from Ichihashi's book.[1]
