An experimental mixture of historical footage and recent video shots
supplement an examination of Japanese internment during WWII that is
essentially made in voice over narration. The creator talks about her struggle to understand the internment through the memories of her mother and other family members. She explores their words as spoken or written by them. She adds
her own comments and uses the historical footage (mostly from military sources) for comparison. While informative and intriguing, the film is rather amateurish and could have been better edited for clarity -- the experimental nature of the filmmaking
precludes the message of understanding at times.
