"A beautifully animated short by Michelle Ikemoto was inspired by her grandmother's experience in one of the Japanese-American internment camps during World War II. Ikemoto's well-plotted story takes place in the winter of 1943, after martial law had been imposed on the residents of the Tule Lake Camp. Blessed with a beautiful original score by Jong Kim, the trailer shows how gorgeous Ikemoto’s final rendering looks in color." – by George Heymont
