| 7-9 p.m. | Film Screening & Discussion: “Searchlight Serenade: Big Bands in the Japanese American Incarceration Camps”KEET-TV producers Claire Reynolds and Sam Greene, collaborating with local artist Amy Uyeki, created this documentary, which tells the stories of former internees who played music in the camps through interviews along with historical footage of the camps, and a ten minute animated short. The animated segment, based on actual events involving jazz bands in the camps, was created by artist Amy Uyeki whose parents were both interned with their families at Gila River and Minidoka Internment Camps. The animation was created from woodblocks done in a traditional Japanese style. The animation will bring to life some of the occurrences that happened with the bands in the camps, with an approach that will be more accessible to a diverse audience. The screening will be followed by a discussion. |

| 11-12:30 p.m. | Film Screening & Discussion: “Pilgrimage: Japanese Internment to Multicultural Activism” - Presenter: Jacqueline HondaIn this documentary by Tadashi Nakamura, two young Japanese Americans set out to find an obscure place called Manzanar in the California desert, in 1969. This was one of ten sites where over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry were incarcerated during World War II. This rediscovery then became a “pilgrimage” and the first public event in the U.S. that called attention to the reality of these camps. With a hip music track, never-before-seen archival footage and a story-telling style that features both old and new pilgrims, PILGRIMAGE is the first film to show how the WWII camps were reclaimed by the children of its victims and how the Manzanar Pilgrimage now has fresh meaning for diverse generations of people who realize that when the U.S. government herded thousands of innocent Americans into what the government itself called concentration camps, it was failure of democracy that would affect all Americans. As the U.S. is again in tumultuous times, this film is relevant and engaging bringing new and much-needed insight to the lessons of the past for our post-9/11 world. |
