Artist and documentary filmmaker Masha Savitz recently released her debut book, “Fish Eyes for Pearls: A Magical Realism Memoir.” This “experimental memoir,” as the author has categorized it, is a journey that delves into understandings of aesthetics, memory, relationships, and predestination. Its unique structure redefines what literary nonfiction can be.
Savitz, who is also an Epoch Times contributor, is perhaps best known for her eye-opening documentary “Red Reign: The Bloody Harvest of China’s Prisoners,” which exposes the systemic practice of forced organ harvesting perpetrated by the Chinese communist regime against adherents of the peaceful spiritual practice of Falun Gong. Her experience making the film is but one of numerous experiences recalled in “Fish Eyes for Pearls.”
