Community Film Screening: Snapshots of Confinement
During World War II more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes and confined in a series of camps managed by the War Relocation Authority. The US government initially imposed policies that limited the use of cameras by Japanese Americans in confinement sites, while simultaneously utilizing photography for propaganda. Despite the ban, Japanese American families found ways to document their lives. Join us for this screening of Snapshots of Confinement, a film highlighting how these photos reveal stories of community and resilience, transforming how this dark history is understood today. A Q&A session following the film will feature film participants as well as director and producer, our very own DU Professor, Esteban Gómez.
