CAMP LIFE -- Misa Wakatsuki (Nobu McCarthy) sewing for Jeanne Wakatsuki (Dori Takeshita) in the film "Farewell to Manzanar"courtesy of the Barbara P. Narita Collection / Densho On March 11, 1976 the world television presentation of "Farewell to Manzanar" was broadcasted to a national audience. Then in February 2001, the film was reintroduced to the public in a number of private screenings to commemorate Day of Remembrance events in California. Now another 20 years later, the film is being presented Feb. 21 to a new generation. In 2000, the Marin County chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League started planning a 2001 Day of Remembrance event led by Carole Hayashino and myself. We tossed around a few ideas before deciding to screen the film. "Farewell to Manzanar" was an ideal choice because 2001 marked the 25th year since the original screening was seen on network television in 1976, and not many people had seen it since its original viewing. Additionally, the filmmaker John Korty was and is still a Marin County resident. Also many of the cast, crew, and extras lived and worked in the Bay Area, and many scenes were filmed in Northern California. The "Farewell to Manzanar" authors, Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James Houston, lived in Santa Cruz. We thought IF we could find the film -- others had tried but were not successful -- we would have a very good program because we would have the film, hopefully the filmmaker, the authors, and cast and crew members who could join us for a reunion. Since Akemi Kikumura Yano and Dori Takeshita Chan had agreed to join us, we were confident we could locate other crew and cast members. We would work on the others later using Visual Communications in Los Angeles, as well as other friends and family members, to assist us in contacting others and it paid off. Finding the film was the major obstacle. It was not until I asked David Nakabayashi, my cousin who works at Industrial Light & Magic/Lucas Films in San Francisco for assistance. He reached out to friends and associates who work in the film industry in Los Angeles. And one of his friends, Vicki Ariyasu, asked her friend Dave Oakden, who worked at Universal Studios. He found a 35mm print in good condition in Universal's vault. The original plan was for a Marin (County) JACL Day of Remembrance program, then San Francisco's Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California requested to join us. And subsequently the Sacramento JACL contacted us. The Sacramento screening was unexpected, but a very welcomed add-on. The Marin program was held on Sunday, Feb. 18 at the Marin Center Showcase Theater in San Rafael. As with the other event it was a sell-out. The Marin program included "Two Views of Manzanar," an exhibit of photographs by Toyo Miyatake and Ansel Adams, on loan from the Fresno Museum, and a quilt display by the Japanese American Services of the East Bay. The quilt displayed former internees' memories of camp in their quilt squares. And Toyo Miyatake's homemade camera was on display. The San Francisco event was held on Saturday, Feb. 17 at the Kabuki 8 Theater to another sell-out crowd. The Sacramento JACL held its screening at the Crest Theater in Downtown Sacramento on Friday, Feb. 16, and we were overwhelmed when the theater had more than 1,000 persons in attendance. At the three events, besides screening "Farewell to Manzanar," members of the cast and crew along with Korty and the Houstons were in attendance and gave their thoughts on their participation in the film. The following year in 2002, the Commission for One California co-sponsored the "Farewell to Manzanar Education Initiative," which supported a statewide distribution of 10,000 educational kits to Californian's public schools and libraries to provide California's children with lessons of the Japanese American World War II experience. The kit consisted of a VHS tape, a copy of the book "Farewell to Manzanar" and a teaching guide. This presentation was a launching program that occurred during the 2002 Visual Communications Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film & Video Festival Day in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo. The director, cast, and crew members were present. On a more personal note, when "Farewell to Manzanar" was originally broadcasted on NBC, I went to my parents' home in San Mateo to view it with my parents and sisters; it was a family event. I wanted to see and hear their reactions to the film. Although they did not say much about their time at the Heart Mountain, Wyo. concentration camp, they did open up a little more about their "camp" experience. I want to remind everyone to please talk with your Nisei parents/grandparents because we are losing that part of our collective memory on the camp experience. And in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, it is imperative that we do our part to continue to promote unity and cross cultural dialogues with others. Although the 2021 screening of "Farewell to Manzanar" is part of the Films of Remembrance series, I also view it as part of the celebrations for Day of Remembrance events. It continues to amaze me that we have been able to bring this film to different generations of the Japanese American community and to others. And for that I am extremely grateful. I feel that besides the historic milestone of a film like "Farewell to Manzanar," it opened the door to spread the opportunities to persons of color to work within the cinematic industry and to improve the educational experience of our students. "Farewell to Manzanar" (1976, 107 minutes) will be screened Sunday, Feb. 21 at 6 p.m. at the West Wind Capitol Drive-In at 3630 Hillcap Ave. in San Jose, Calif., with the cast reunion and video performances by San Jose Taiko. Tickets cost $40 per vehicle in advance, $45 at the gate. 2021.

The views expressed in the preceding commentary are not necessarily those of the Nichi Bei Weekly. *** 45th anniversary screening of `Farewell to Manzanar' and cast reunion at the drive-in Tired of staying home all these months? Come join the Japanese American community as we celebrate the 45th anniversary of a landmark film that first taught much of the general U.S. population about the wartime incarceration of the Japanese American community during World War II -- at a time when many Japanese American families themselves even refrained from talking about this dark chapter of American history. "Farewell to Manzanar" is based upon the groundbreaking book by James D. and Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, which continues to be required reading in American classrooms. Gather with the community from the safe confines of your own car to watch this landmark 1976 film by John Korty. The special drive-in screening will include an exclusive on-screen reunion with cast, crew and extras, moderated by cast member Frank Abe. Featuring actors Clyde Kusatsu, Momo Yashima, Akemi Kikumura Yano and Dori Takeshita; and cinematographer Hiro Narita. Scholar Lewis Kawahara will discuss the impact of the film. The drive-in presentation will also include video performances by San Jose Taiko. Partial proceeds of the drive-in screening will benefit Yu-Ai Kai Japanese American Community Senior Service. DVDs of "Farewell to Manzanar" will also be for sale at the event.

This year it's a weekend more crowded than ever with five events at which I've been asked to speak. One consequence of pandemic isolation is the ability to be anywhere with Zoom, so I agreed to two events on Saturday and three on Sunday, covering all angles of resistance to wartime incarceration and the echoes to today: SEATTLE, WA Saturday, February 20, 2021, 11:00 am PT Wing Luke Museum virtual tour of INS Building A key scene in our graphic novel We Hereby Refuse takes place inside the U.S. Immigration Station, on the edge of Seattle's Chinatown, where 100 immigrant Issei were held after their arrest by the FBI two months after Pearl Harbor. I'll join the virtual tour as a guest speaker to show scenes from our book of the detention of Jim Akutsu's father inside the Immigration Station, and also read from my father's own memoir about his detention there in the 1930's. Register here. SEATTLE, WA Saturday, February 20, 2021, 2:00 pm PT Wing Luke Museum online book launch Copies of our graphic novel won't be ready for sale until March, but we're going ahead with the Day of Remembrance launch of We Hereby Refuse: Japanese American Resistance to Wartime Incarceration. I'll unpack how the structure of the book and its narrative arc upend the usual expectations around camp stories, Tamiko Nimura will read from a scene with her uncle Hiroshi Kashiwagi, and artists Ross Ishikawa and Matt Sasaki will break down their process. To get the Zoom link to watch, you'll need to register here. PUYALLUP, WA Sunday, February 21, 2021, 1:00 pm PT Tsuru for Solidary car caravan for Seattle's Day of Remembrance In advance of a Day of Remembrance car caravan from the Puyallup Fairgrounds to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, I've recorded a video greeting that links the first Day of Remembrance at the fairgrounds in 1978 to the ongoing need to press for release of asylum-seekers still held at the GEO Group private prison operated on behalf of ICE. "Another Time, Another Place" is sponsored by Tsuru for Solidarity, La Resistencia, Densho, the Minidoka Pilgrimage Planning Committee, Seattle JACL, and Puyallup Valley JACL. [UPDATE: Here's the four-minute video greeting from the blog's YouTube channel] MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, MN Sunday, Feb. 21, 2021, 4:00 ? 6:00 pm CT Twin Cities JACL Day of Remembrance A Twin Cities coalition is screening Conscience and the Constitution for its Day of Remembrance, after which I'll join an online discussion with Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Japanese American and Muslim students from the University of Minnesota. Moderated by Twin Cities JACL chapter president Vinicius Taguchi. [UPDATE: Watch my opening comments and the post-screening discussion, courtesy of the East Freedom Library YouTube channel] SAN JOSE, CA Sunday, February 21, 2021, 6:00 pm PT 45th anniversary screening of Farewell to Manzanar West Wind Capitol Drive-in Theater 3630 Hillcap Avenue Saving the fun one for last: I was a featured actor in the 1976 TV-movie, Farewell to Manzanar, and was prevailed upon by publisher Kenji Taguma to organize and moderate a virtual cast and crew reunion prior to the COVID-safe screening of the film at a San Jose drive-in theater. We just recorded the Zoom gathering and those in their cars at the screening will hear some truly great stories. It's sponsored by the Nichi Bei Foundation as the closing night event of its 10th anniversary Films of Remembrance series. Read the Nichi Bei Weekly article about it. [UPDATE: For the live audience at the drive-in, a 20-minute video was screened. Here is the 28-minute "director's cut," produced and edited by Greg Viloria, courtesy of the Nichi Bei Foundation YouTube channel] December 31, 2013 Frank Abe Leave a comment Happy new year. It was a busy 2013 -- so busy that we're only now catching up to posting new video, audio and images from events of the past year: three panels at the JANM national conference and two fall screenings. JAPANESE AMERICAN NATIONAL MUSUEUM national conference ? July 5, 2013 Click on the montage to hear audio from our redress panel, featuring (L to R) Arlene Oki, Frank Abe and Yasuko Takezawa The museum recently provided an audio recording of our panel on redress and creation of the first Day of Remembrance in Seattle. Click on the montage above to hear about the "Tangled Routes to Japanese American Redress." It was a great pleasure to catch up with an old friend, and my former housing officer at UC Santa Cruz, Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston. We enjoyed a lively discussion after a screening of her "Farewell to Manzanar," in which I was forced to relive my on-screen character's beating at the hands of one of Hanako Wakatsuski's uncles, or so she says. The museum website promises an audio file will be forthcoming. Click on the image to hear audio of the panel, "Standing on Principle," with Heart Mountain resister Tak Hoshizaki (above), Professor Tets Kashima, and author Mary Woodward In another audio file you can hear Heart Mountain resister Tak Hoshizaki present his fascinating insider's look at the Fair Play Committee, "Kiyoshi Okamoto and the Four Franks," which you can also read online here. Joining him in the "Standing on Principle" panel were Professor Tets Kashima and author Mary Woodward. Thanks to Tracy Kumono for all the sharp photographs from the JANM conference. FIFE HISTORY MUSUEM: "Rights, Rations, Remembrance" exhibit ? October 17, 2013 Of the hundreds of screenings we've done over the years, this one was memorable for the number of Fife residents for whom this history is a living memory, and who brought that energy and interest to the film. This Facebook photo album shows the nearly 100 who joined us for a special evening. Museum director Molly Wilmoth has since moved on, but thanks to her for choosing our film to launch their museum program series. NAGOMI TEA HOUSE: "Nikkei Heroes" film series ? November 2, 2013 Another special program this year was one aimed at the Japanese-speaking community in Seattle. This was the first time in the U..S. that we screened CONSCIENCE with the Japanese subtitles created for the Fukuoka Film Festival in 2001. It was the first event in a "Nikkei Heroes" film series at the Nagomi Tea House, a new performance venue inside the old Uwajimaya supermarket at 6th and Weller. Our thanks for the support of Uwajimaya owner Tomio Moriguchi and Hokubei Hochi Foundation director Elaine Ko. Two videos are posted here. The first is a link to my introduction to the film. The second video, embedded below, captures the Q and A after the screening. The second video begins abruptly after these opening words were already heard: "As I was growing up, the party line in our community was that our response to the forced expulsion was represented by one of two catchphrases. The first was `Shikataganai,' Japanese for "it can't be helped." Passive resignation in the face of injustice. The second was `Go For Broke,' Hawaiian slang for "go all out, give 100 percent." That just didn't seem right.... " The video picks up from there: Thanks for a busy and productive 2013. Here's looking forward to what the new year brings. July 4, 2013 Frank Abe 1 Comment The screening and discussion of Farewell to Manzanar this Friday night at the Japanese American National Museum annual conference in Seattle provides an opportunity to share these newly-rediscovered photographs taken by photographer Nancy Wong. Mako, Lawson Inada, Frank Chin, and extras recruited from the Bay Area Asian community prepare to recreate the Manzanar Riot for the 1976 NBC/Universal film, FAREWELL TO MANZANAR. Photo by Nancy Wong. Nancy shot these on location on the grounds of the former Santa Rita state prison in the summer of 1975 while we were assembled to recreate the Manzanar Riot of December 6, 1942. Mako played "Sam Fukimoto," the character based on Harry Ueno, the fiery leader of the Kitchen Workers Union whose arrest for the beating of Los Angeles JACL leader Fred Tayama, played in the film by myself as "Frank Nishi," sparked the Manzanar Riot. Three of the editors of the groundbreaking literary anthology AIIIEEEEE! with the brother of the fourth, posing on location for FAREWELL TO MANZANAR: (from left) Lawson Inada, Frank Chin, Shawn Wong, and Michael Paul Chan, who went on to perform in the cast of The Closer. Photo by Nancy Wong. In my youthful enthusiasm I did not know that first-time film actors should not try rewriting their own lines, but that's what I did the night before we shot the big mess hall confrontation with Mako/Sam Fukimoto/Harry Ueno -- much to the dismay of scene partner Seth Sakai, whom I'd failed to notify and who cursed me after our scene and hurled his gloves in my direction, to the applause of the hundreds of extras in the scene. I have to thank director John Korty for allowing me to make the change. Among the extras were writers Toshio Mori and Shawn Wong. But I felt compelled to make the scene more specific reading this seminal essay by Art Hansen and David Hacker that reconstructs the actual events in "The Manzanar Riot: An Ethnic Perspective" [4MB], which had recently appeared in the fall 1974 issue of Amerasia Journal. The piece reveals that one of the fundamental causes of the Manzanar Riot was not, as simplified in the film by Korty, simply a grumbling over sugar stolen from the mess hall. It was more, as mentioned in Conscience and told more fully in Jeanne Houston's book, a revolt against the power conferred by the government and the camp administration to the Japanese American Citizens League. As documented in Art and David's essay, Fred Tayama and internee security chief Kiyoshi Higashi had returned the day before from an emergency meeting of the JACL in Salt Lake City attended by two delegates from each of the ten camps. In that meeting National JACL, enacting its own policies without any ratification or popular vote of the people, resolved to urge the U.S. government to reinstate Selective Service for the Nisei as a means of asserting their U.S. citizenship and proving their loyalty. As Hansen and Hacker wrote: "For the internees -- Issei, Kibei, and Nisei -- the time had come when something had to be done to prevent the corrosive effects of the JACLers ... The events of December 6 were but a logical culmination of developments originating with the administration's decision to bypass the community's natural Issei leadership to deal with its own artificially erected JACL hierarchy and to embark on a program of Americanization at the expense of Japanese ethnicity." Watch that scene in the film in this light. The revolt against the JACL prefigured the resistance at Heart Mountain and other camps that occurred a year later, when the JACL plea for a Nisei draft was finally granted. In a somewhat related aside, Frank Chin now claims that Bay Area radical activist and early Black Panther Richard Aoki -- recently named as an FBI informant, a charge that's also been disputed -- was there with us on location. I never knew Aoki, but in an email Frank writes, "Remember the first day at Santa Rita? There was a fattish fella in a mustache and tee shirt passing out lemonade. That was Richard Aoki." He later speculates, "Why was Richard Aoki at the Santa Rita FAREWELL TO MANZANAR shoot? ... Aoki might have been getting acquainted with Yellow actors in the parts of camp activists and victims." Or, maybe he was just there to ladle out refreshments. We may never know. Jeanne HoustonRichard Aoki
