Yuki Shimoda

Akemi Kikumura
After Pearl Harbor and America's entry into World War II, over 100,000 Japanese-Americans were interned in camps throughout the USA. The shattering blow of being locked up as a potential enemy, is powerfully dramatised through the experience of one family in this frightening true story. The Wakatsukis were uprooted from their home in Santa Monica, California, and taken to Manzanar. Their life there with thousands of inmates is depicted in this film.
