Sansei Granddaughters' Journey:

Five San Francisco Bay Area artists embark on a road trip to the 2018 Manzanar Pilgrimage. The result is this moving documentary that explores their family stories of incarceration and the effect on their art. Through a series of artistic projects, rituals and offerings, they honor their relatives who were among the over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were unjustly imprisoned during WWII.
