DESCRIPTION:This engaging 2017 documentary from director Antonia Grace Glen
 n focuses on the experiences of Issei and Nisei women whose voices have la
 rgely been excluded from American history. At the heart of the film are th
 ree Nisei sisters: Natsuye (Nancy)\, Haruye (Lillian)\, and Hideko (Hedy)\
 , who were born on a farm in the Sacramento River Delta and whose lives we
 re directly impacted by significant historical events such as the San Fran
 cisco Earthquake of 1906\, the Great Depression\, and World War II.\n\nThe
 ir narratives are set against the backdrop of the anti-Japanese movement i
 n California\, which culminated in the forced evacuation and incarceration
  of more than 120\,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast. Interviewed
  in their 80s and 90s\, the three sisters are colorful and memorable chara
 cters\, recalling stories of humor\, hardship\, and heartbreak.\n\nThe scr
 eening will be followed by a discussion between the filmmaker and Evelyn N
 akano Glenn\, Professor of the Graduate School at the University of Califo
 rnia\, Berkeley\, and Michael Omi\, Associate Professor of Asian American 
 and Asian Diaspora Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley.\n\n
