Much of the section of the film about his time in Congress focuses on his role in what would become the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Civil_Liberties_Act_of_1988\" title=\"Civil Liberties Act of 1988\">\n Civil Liberties Act of 1988\n </a>\n . Made with the cooperation of Mineta and his family, the film incorporates family photographs and interviews with Mineta, his first and second wives, and his children, along with many friends and colleagues from various points of his life. Among those interviewed are Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush; Senator Alan Simpson; and Mineta's first and second wives and two sons.\n </p>\n <p>\n According to filmmakers Dianne Fukami and Debra Nakatomi, they had been trying to convince Mineta to do the film for many years. He finally agreed in 2013 and the duo began working on the project in 2014. The filmmakers raised a substantial amount of money from the Japanese American community, including at $500,000 gift from the Terasaki Family Foundation. On the occasion of the film's world premiere in San Francisco as part of the Center for Asian American Media's annual CAAMFest on May 10, 2018, Mineta told writer Takeshi Nakayama that he was \"honored and very flattered to be the subject of this documentary.
