Gaman – Stourwater Films Interviews and Footage by renown local filmmaker Lucy Ostrander

On March 30th1942, the first Japanese families were taken from Bainbridge Island, WA and placed in internment camps. One member of the Nakata family shares his history without resentment. How did these families survive internally? As I look at the ghettos, a modern-day internment and think about the refugee crisis around the world, I think it important to explore our internal resources for overcoming adversity. Can people retain their dignity despite oppression or adversity through endurance and implementation of creative thought? We will explore this topic through rap, dance and drawing.
