LEAP OF FAITH: HOW ENMANJI TEMPLE WAS SAVED s a short documentary by LINA HOSHINO about a Buddhist Temple in Sebastopol that was threatened to be destroyed when Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps in WWII.

After the film, REVEREND LLOYD WAKE ,  NOBUSUKE FUKUDA, Konko Church of San Francisco , MR. JERRY BOLICK, Buddhist Church of San Francisco , and other guests will speak about the role of faith in Japanese American community during and since the camps. Admission is Free!
