"description": "Biographical documentary of activist and redress researcher\n \n Aiko Herzig Yoshinaga\n \n by Janice D. Tanaka. Tanaka's mother, Grace Tanaka, was a close childhood friend of Herzig Yoshinaga's, and she juxtaposes her mother's more conventional Nisei life with Herzig's more rebellious path. Includes candid interviews with Herzig Yoshinaga's three children, husband Jack Herzig and many friends and others who knew her, in reviewing her life in a more-or-less chronological fashion from childhood, to wartime incarceration at\n \n Manzanar\n \n and\n \n Jerome\n \n , two early marriages—and divorces—that left her a single mother with three children, her life and work in New York after the war and her turn to activism, and her key role in the\n \n Redress Movement\n \n and\n \n coram nobis cases\n \n in partnership with husband Jack Herzig. In addition to the interviews with key figures in her life, Tanaka also did group interviews with friends and family members and had Herzig Yoshinaga revisit locations from her New York life with her children.",

Able to secure funding from Nitto Tire (which also funded\n <i>\n Right of Passage\n </i>\n ) she pursued the idea with Herzig Yoshinaga, who was initially reluctant to take part. However Tanaka's connection through her mother proved key, and Herzig Yoshinaga eventually consented.\n </p>\n <p>\n <i>\n Rebel with a Cause\n </i>\n premiered on April 24, 2016 at\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Visual_Communications\" title=\"Visual Communications\">\n Visual Communications\n </a>\n ' Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.
