A documentary film showing and panel discussion. Reception to follow the film showing.

The film The Unrestricted Life of Ted Fujioka (Director and Producer: Julian Semilian, UNCSA, 2018, funded by Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts) explores Japanese interment during World War II through the lense of a Japanese American Buddhist survivor.  A panel discussion of invited speakers and the film director will present reflections on the history of forced US removals from the forced removal of Southeastern American Indian nations to the Second World War and the contemporary immigrant crisis. A reception will follow the film presentation.

This event is sponsored by the Kenan Institute of the Arts at UNCSA, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the WFU Provost's Office.
