Digital Histories is a mechanism for AAPNHPI older adults to use their unique voices and perspectives in sharing stories with the generations to come. Since its creation in 2003, Digital Histories has provided a professional and artistic work environment for underserved, ethnic-minority seniors in the Los Angeles-based Asian Pacific American community. Past documentary projects have focused on issues such as discovering and preserving family histories, coming to terms with a gay child, and senior love and dating.
During World War II, 12,000 Japanese immigrants and Japanese American citizens were interned at Heart Mountain, including my husband’s family. This film documents the dedication ceremony of Heart Mountain Interpretive Learning Center in Wyoming, featuring appearances by Bacon Sakatani, broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, and U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye. RETURNING TO HEART MOUNTAIN is a timely reminder of a political time and events that should never happen again.
