Following up on the Annual Day of Remembrance -- marking FDR's signing of Executive Order 9066 -- we feature a contribution by filmmaker Joe Fox, whose new film Passing Poston: An American Story, debuts in New York City tonight.
The filmmaker and writer discusses the inspiration behind the new film about Poston concentration camp, and about the film's exploration of connections between the Japanese Americans who labored there and the Colorado River Indian tribe, whose desert reservation served as its host.
As Fox states, "A filmmaker is nothing more than a storyteller. And one really searches high and low for those amazing stories to tell."
He and partner James Nubile have found an amazing story indeed. Learn more at http://www.passingposton.com/.
