Who I'd like to meet:
PILGRIMAGE tells the inspiring story of how an abandoned WWII concentration
camp has been transformed into a current-day symbol of restrospection and
solidarity in the aftermath of 9/11.
Total running time: 22 min.
Although there are now numerous films on the mass incarceration of Japanese
Americans during World War II, this dark chapter of American history lay
virtually forgotten until 1969 when two young Japanese Americans set out to
find a place called Manzanar and ended up creating an annual event that has
since attracted thousands of people. Calling it a "pilgrimage," it was the
first public event in the nation to call attention to the reality of the WWII
concentration camp experience that had almost been deleted from public
understanding.
With a hip music track, never-before-seen archival footage and a story-telling
style that features both old and new pilgrims, Pilgrimage is the first film to
show how the WWII camps were reclaimed by the children of its victims and how
the Manzanar Pilgrimage now has fresh meaning for diverse generations of people
who realize that when the US government herded thousands of innocent Americans
into what the government itself called concentration camps, it was failure of
democracy that would affect all Americans. As the U.S. is again in tumultuous
times, Pilgrimage is a timely and engaging film that brings new and much-needed
insight to the lessons of the past for our post 9/11 world.
