 g>\n</strong>\n\n<em>About the film:</em>\n\n<em>In the middle of the nigh
 t\, before they are to be sent to a Japanese Internment Camp\, one family 
 buries a secret in their backyard garden. 80 years later\, a clue is disco
 vered and what begins as a mystery soon turns criminal as a family of diff
 erent minds try to come together to discover the truth of their past.</em>
 \n\n<em>No No Girl</em> is a story about the generations of Japanese Ameri
 cans who suffer to this day from the incarceration of their ancestors duri
 ng WW2. In the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor\, hundreds of thousands
  of Japanese Americans were\, by executive action\, evicted from their hom
 es and sent to barracks in isolated camps\, scattered across the United St
 ates. Many families\, including the fictional one portrayed in <em>No No G
 irl</em>\, didn't want to depart with their treasured possessions that wer
 e too big\, or otherwise unable to bring with them\, so they buried it. Af
 ter the war\, Japanese American families would return to their homes to fi
 nd them ransacked\, destroyed\, vandalized with racism and hate and someti
 mes even outright stolen. They would have to start again\, and move on. <e
 m>No No Girl</em> explores three generations of Japanese Americans who dis
 cover the existence of family heirlooms in a home that is no longer theirs
 . What it brings is more complicated than joy or relief because their plac
 e in history is complicated. In this film we explore identity and family\;
  nationality and pride. And watching our characters ask themselves: if it'
 s yours\, is it really stealing?
