Produced by KTEH, a San Jose public television station,\n <i>\n Return to the Valley\n </i>\n was the first episode of an anthology series titled\n <i>\n Voices of the Valley\n </i>\n and debuted in 2003. It received a region Emmy Award in 2004 for \"Outstanding Community Program.\"\n </p>\n <p>\n \"Return to the Valley\" tells its story in segments titled \"Arrival,\" \"Return,\" \"Rebuilding,\" and \"Remembrance.\" It begins with narrator Ken Kashiwahara at a contemporary Japanese American youth basketball league game before providing a brief overview of Japanese migration and settlement in the valley and the trauma of World War II expulsion and incarceration. The bulk of the story focuses on the decade after Japanese Americans were allowed to\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Return_to_West_Coast\" title=\"Return to West Coast\">\n return to the West Coast\n </a>\n beginning in 1945 and is told mostly through the recollections of\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Nisei\" title=\"Nisei\">\n Nisei\n </a>\n interviewees, period still photographs, and the home movie footage of\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Dave_Tatsuno\" title=\"Dave Tatsuno\">\n David Tatsuno\n </a>\n (who is one of the Nisei interviewed).
