Film Screening and Discussion—"Moving Walls: American Nightmare to American Dream"
Join us for the LA premiere of a new documentary about what became of the barracks built to house 11,000 Japanese Americans at Heart Mountain concentration camp. The film features interviews with former prisoners as well as the people who live in and use the structures today.
Filmmaker Sharon Yamato is also the author of the recently updated book, Moving Walls: The Barracks of America’s Concentration Camps, which originally came out in 1994 to document the moving of two Heart Mountain barracks to the Japanese American National Museum. The book, which is available for purchase at the JANM Store and janmstore.com, includes a new section about what happened to the barracks after the camp closed. It also features dramatic photography by nationally acclaimed photojournalist Stan Honda. A Q&A with Yamato and Honda will follow the screening.
Included with museum admission. Free for JANM and Visual Communications members. RSVPs are recommended using the link below.
Co-sponsored by Visual Communications.
The DVD and the book are both available at the JANM Store.
Read about Sharon Yamato’s quest to find barracks in her 2015 article on Discover Nikkei.
