Rabbit In the Moon: A California Reads Event. Film Screening and Discussion with Chizu Omori

Like many Japanese Americans released from WWII internment camps, the young Omori sisters did their best to erase the memories and scars of life under
confinement. Fifty years later acclaimed filmmaker Emiko Omori asks her older sister and other detainees to reflect on the personal and political consequences of internment. From the exuberant recollections of a typical teenager, to the
simmering rage of citizens forced to sign loyalty oaths, Omori renders a poetic and illuminating picture of a deeply troubling chapter in American history.
