George Takei, who narrates the film, will be there to answer questions, as will attorney Wayne Merrill Collins, son of the film’s protagonist – SF attorney Wayne Mortimer Collins, a fearless advocate whose anger and sense of justice fueled his 23-year court battle to recover U.S. citizenship for more than 5,500 Japanese Americans forced to renounce under duress while imprisoned at the turmoil-ridden Tule Lake Segregation Center, considered the worst of the ten U.S. concentration camps.
It's important to reserve tickets at the JANM website. They’re free with JANM membership, or $16 general admission ($9 senior & students), which includes all current exhibitions. I encourage you to see the highly touted Aki’s Market, which features an incredible virtual reality look inside a 1950’s East LA grocery store (reservations required).
