Family Gathering
US (1988): Documentary/Short
Silence -- the stuff of assumptions and confusion -- is a legacy inherited by many grandchildren of Japanese Americans interned during WW II. Shortly after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Masuo Yasui, a respected figure of Hood River Valley, Oregon was arrested by the FBI as a "potentially dangerous enemy alien." In A Family Gathering, Lise Yasui, a granddaughter that Masuo never knew, shows that courageous journeys into the past can bring greater understanding of family and personal history to the present.
