Much of the story is told in Yasui's own words, excerpted from archival interviews and speeches. The filmmakers also interview two of his siblings, Yuka Yasui Fujikura and Homer Yasui, along with friends and colleagues from Denver.\n </p>\n <p>\n An educator and activist who had lived in Guanajuato, Mexico, since 1991, Holly Yasui (1953–2021) began production on the film in 2013 with the aim of completing it by 2016 for the 100th anniversary of Min's birth. With attorney Peggy Nagae, she also co-founded the Minoru Yasui Tribute Committee, whose efforts led to Yasui being posthumously being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 and the establishment of Minoru Yasui Day in the state of Oregon in 2016. Originally intending to make a fifteen to thirty-minute film, Holly and co-director Will Doolittle decided to make it an hour after collecting archival footage—including from Holly's cousin Lise Yasui's\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Family Gathering (film)/\" title=\"Family Gathering (film)\">\n Family Gathering\n </a>\n </i>\n and Steven Okazaki's\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Unfinished Business (film)/\" title=\"Unfinished Business (film)\">\n Unfinished Business\n </a>\n </i>\n —and conducting twenty interviews in 2014. The film premiered on Minoru Yasui Day in Salem, Oregon, March 28, 2017. A planned part 2 of the film was to focus on his postwar life.\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 </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Brian_Niiya\" title=\"Brian Niiya\">\n Brian Niiya\n </a>\n , Densho\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Niiya, Brian\n </div>\n <p>\n Might also like\n <i>\n <a class=\"external text offsite\" href=\"https://resourceguide.densho.org/Family%20Gathering%20(film)/\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n Family Gathering\n </a>\n </i>\n (1988);\n <i>\n <a class=\"external text offsite\" href=\"https://resourceguide.densho.org/Unfinished%20Business%20(film)/\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n Unfinished Business\n </a>\n </i>\n (1985);\n <i>\n <a class=\"external text offsite\" href=\"https://resourceguide.densho.org/Of%20Civil%20Wrongs%20and%20Rights:%20The%20Fred%20Korematsu%20Story%20(film)/\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n Of Civil Wrongs and Rights: The Fred Korematsu Story\n </a>\n </i>\n (2000)\n </p>\n</div>\n",
