In Robert Nakamura’s WATARIDORI: BIRDS OF PASSAGE, three issei (first generation Japanese Americans) describe a collective history through personal memories. The film stands as one of the quintessential documentary portraits celebrating the legacy of the issei. It had the distinction of being presented at The White House in 1976 as part of America’s Bicentennial festivities, and is still an unequalled study of early Asian American community-building. WATARIDORI: BIRDS OF PASSAGE was directed by Visual Communications co-founder Robert Nakamura (MANZANAR, HITO HATA: RAISE THE BANNER) and is one of four productions that are regarded as “Visual Communications Classics” for their incisive portraits of the Asian Pacific American Experience. This 4K restoration was funded by the National Film Preservation Foundation.
