Teenagers.  Hormones.  Barbed wire...It’s going to be a long war!

Hi, all!  Take a few minutes to view this video of many of our cast members when they gathered together for the first time as a group.

 

We were honored to have Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga speak to us about her experiences as a teenager, a newly-wed, and about to be young mom when she was an inmate in these prisons.  Also, Aiko talked to the cast about her experiences after war and her striving to find out what was the truth of the whole matter.

 

For each of our cast members, it was an amazing experience to meet and speak with someone who was both part of this unjust history and who fought tirelessly for redress of these wrongful actions.
