“You can’t go home again” is the overriding theme of this documentary, even if it is punctuated by hope and faith in these two nations and their peoples. Dr. Shibata was raised with full knowledge that his “homeland” of Japan was a faraway place from his current “home” in Canada. When his home was eventually ripped away, Dr. Shibata, like many Japanese Canadians, proved to be brave and talented in making the best of his situation. Yet these people also did another thing that is particularly imaginative and selfless: they made sure to ease the suffering of others in a similar situation. For Dr. Shibata, this meant moving back to Hiroshima and getting to know family members he had never met before.
