LOOKING FOR PEOPLE to talk about the impact that the WWII Japanese-American internment had on mother
FLY
ON THE WALL PRODUCTIONS is producing a documentary entitled, “For the Sake of the Children”,
a
20 minute film that looks at the impact that the WWII Japanese-American
internment had on mothers and how they raised their children during their
incarceration and after.
Additionally,
this film will examine the impact that the internees' parenting had on their
children and on the generations that followed - in particular the challenges,
struggles, and circumstances that individuals from each subsequent generation
have faced in shaping, integrating and reconciling their identities as
Japanese-Americans.
WE
ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH US
In particular…
1)
Nisei women who gave birth to children while at camp or who raised children up
to the age of 12 while at camp
2)
Sansei women and men who were born while at camp or who were children up to the
age of 12 while at camp
3)
Yonsei women and men whose grandmothers were internees
4)
Gosei women and men whose great grandmothers were internees
(PLEASE NOTE: Yonsei and Gosei do not
need to be descendants from Poston. Their grandmothers could be from any of the
other internment camps.)
