University of Chicago APAGSC presents: “Hidden Internments: Then and Now” Two documentaries examine disturbing US wartime policies and their effects on minorities and immigrants. HIDDEN INTERNMENT: THE ART SHIBAYAMA STORY, by director Casey Peek, divulges the untold history of the WWII internment of Japanese Latin Americans. Art was forcibly deported with his family from Peru and interned in Texas for hostage exchange. He and others continue to struggle for US accountability for human rights violations. CAUGHT INBETWEEN, by director Lina Hoshino, questions “freedom” in the USA by examining those who spoke out against national policy, and were subsequently dubbed “enemies of the state”. The film draws parallels between the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans and the “The War on Terror” upon Muslim, Arab, and South Asian communities. For more information, contact APAGSC at apagsc@listhost.uchicago.edu. Discussion with filmmaker Lina Hoshino and activist Grace Shimizu will follow. panasia.uchicago.edu |
