Informative and very well documented

This is an terrific piece of work!...The cinematography and production are top-notch. A short picture-22 mins. with interviews of the activists back in '69 and again today. The picture trace's the 1969 pilgrimage of Asia-Americans back to the Manzanar internment camp during WWII.

Very contemporary for the times of today. One of the persons interviewed says: 'after the September 11th attacks I knew exactly how the Muslim community here in America felt, because I've been through it.'

I really enjoyed seeing the grounds of Manzanar, as it is today, and with imaging layered over from the past to give a sense what was had been happening during the WWII.
