Filmmaker Claire Mix is the daughter of Ruth.\n </p>\n <p>\n The film is largely based on a 2007 interview of Ruth, recording shortly before her death. Her recollections are filled out with interviews with former inmates—including former students of Frida Mix—and on camera reflections by Claire. In addition to family and archival photographs, many of the stories Ruth tells are illustrated through reenactments, with actors playing Frida, the young Ruth, and various inmates.\n </p>\n <p>\n The story begins with a brief profile of the Mixes prior to the war. A teacher and something of a crusader, Frida is determined to help Japanese Americans and takes a job as a teacher at Gila, bringing Ruth along with her. Ruth volunteers as a nurse's aide and also assists Frida at times in the classroom. She tells stories of the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Medical_care_in_camp\" title=\"Medical care in camp\">\n inadequate medical facilities\n </a>\n that led to unnecessary deaths and illnesses, of friendships made with inmates, and the general poor quality of life in a concentration camp. Japanese American interviewees fill in other aspects of the story, including the forced removal and roundup of Japanese Americans and the difficulties they faced when they\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Return_to_West_Coast\" title=\"Return to West Coast\">\n returned to their homes\n </a>\n after the war.\n </p>\n <p>\n The film was funded by a grant from the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program, Transvideo Studios, the Gila River Reunion Committee and many individual donors.\n </p>\n <p>\n Mix's story is also told in a young adult novel by Claire Mix,\n <a class=\"external text offsite\" href=\"https://archive.org/details/girlwithhairlike00mixc\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n <i>\n The Girl with Hair Like the Sun\n </i>\n </a>\n (2012), and in a play by Charles B.
