Description
Film and Discussion: Blossoms & Thorns
Join us for a special screening of a 19-minute documentary exploring the history of Japanese American incarceration during World War II. This poignant film sheds light on a chapter of American history too often overlooked, revealing the struggles, resilience, and lasting impact on those affected.
Each Friday at 2 PM, the screening is followed by a discussion with guest speaker Jim Oshima. Jim shares his family's personal story of incarceration, offering a heartfelt and firsthand perspective that deepens the film’s message.
While the documentary is shown daily in the visitor center, this Friday program provides a rare opportunity to connect history with lived experience. Don’t miss this powerful journey into the past, told through both film and personal testimony.
