The wartime incarceration and its consequences are captured in creative and artistic shorts in this program, from an animated short on the Japanese Canadian incarceration, to history caught through the lens of a treasured household item, to a short narrative tying Native Americans and Japanese Americans, to a quest for identity and purpose by taiko legends.
This particular kitchen item followed a family through their history of life on a flower farm, to incarceration, to forced relocation to Japan and their return to American life.
