Produced as part of the\n  <i>\n   Biography Hawai'i\n  </i>\n  series, it aired on public television stations in Hawai'i in May 2005.\n </p>\n <p>\n  Director/Editor Joy-Chong Stannard tells Ariyoshi's story in a straightforward chronological fashion, using interviews with those who knew Ariyoshi, historical photographs and footage, and Ariyoshi's own words as voiced by actor Dann Seki; the segments with Seki include both voiceover and on-camera segments in which Seki plays Ariyoshi in his flower shop later in life. Most of the film focuses on his unusual role in the\n  <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Military_Intelligence_Service\" title=\"Military Intelligence Service\">\n   Military Intelligence Service\n  </a>\n  during World War II that saw him serving in India, Ceylon, and China and the close ties he builds with Chinese Communist leaders such as Zhou Enlai as well as his postwar newspaper,\n  <i>\n   The Honolulu Record\n  </i>\n  , and his 1950s Smith Act trial. His time at Manzanar is treated very briefly, with only a hint of the controversial role he played there as a founder of the\n  <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Manzanar_Citizens_Federation\" title=\"Manzanar Citizens Federation\">\n   Manzanar Citizens Federation\n  </a>\n  .\n </p>\n <p>\n  The Ariyoshi film was the fourth in the\n  <i>\n   Biography Hawai'i\n  </i>\n  series produced by the Center for Biographical Research, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. Center Director Craig Howes told reporter Michael Tsai that they chose Ariyoshi because they \"wanted someone to represent the ... (Americans of Japanese ancestry) experience and he had such an interesting narrative and such a different spin to the idea of the AJA experience.\"\n  <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref1_1-0\">\n   <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref1-1\">\n    [1]\n   </a>\n  </sup>\n  The hour-long film was produced in collaboration with the Center for Labor Education and Research, University of Hawai'i West-Oahu.
