A 21-minute short,\n <i>\n Half Kenneth\n </i>\n was made by Ken Ochiai as a master's thesis film at the American Film Institute.\n </p>\n <p>\n The story focuses on two young brothers, twelve year old Kenneth Handa and his younger brother Joseph (played by real life brothers Avery and Hunter Dennis). Both are of mixed race ancestry. As the film begins in 1945, their Japanese American father has died, and they are set to be moved to the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Manzanar_Children%27s_Village\" title=\"Manzanar Children's Village\">\n Manzanar Children's Village\n </a>\n , an orphanage. But Ken decides he will not go and decides to sneak out of the camp to find his white mother, who stayed behind in the family house in San Pedro. As he sneaks into the back of a truck driven by Masamichi (played by Chris Tashima, he is a man who would be about his parents' age, but his relationship to the boys is never stated), he is initially disturbed to discover that Jo insists on tagging along. The boys eventually convince Masamichi to drive them to their prewar home in San Pedro where things aren't quite what they had hoped. The movie was filmed at Manzanar and in the Santa Clarita desert, where a replica barracks was built. The film begins with a brief description of\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Executive_Order_9066\" title=\"Executive Order 9066\">\n Executive Order 9066\n </a>\n and its impact narrated by Sab Shimono's character over scenes from newsreels and\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/OWI/WRA_documentaries\" title=\"OWI/WRA documentaries\">\n War Relocation Authority films\n </a>\n .\n </p>\n <p>\n Director Ochiai is a native of Japan who came to the United States to go to college and to attend film school.
