ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY:
Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, Japanese American citizens and Japanese nationals in the Pacific Northwest were forcibly removed and imprisoned in concentration camps without trial or due process. Five episodes look back at two women who were children at the time of their imprisonment, revealing a story of resilience against injustice that resonates today.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKER:
Andrew Inaba’s roots in the Pacific Northwest begin with his grandmother, who left Japan immediately following the war and settled near Seattle’s Nihonmachi. In a community shaped by wartime incarceration, he absorbed the stories and came to understand the region’s role in this history. With Our Thousand Days, Andrew gives voice to those who lived this history and carries it forward for another generation, so that it may never happen again.
