The story is augmented by Amy Uyeki's animations of the incarceration and of the band performances, which were created from her original woodcuts and drawings. The soundtrack includes popular music of the period that the bands played. The documentary also includes contemporary footage of some of the musicians performing.\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 </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=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Words,_Weavings_and_Song_(film)\" title=\"Words, Weavings and Song (film)\">\n Words, Weavings & Songs\n </a>\n </i>\n (2002);\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/California%27s_Gold_with_Huell_Howser:_Songbird_of_Manzanar_(film)\" title=\"California's Gold with Huell Howser: Songbird of Manzanar (film)\">\n California's Gold with Huell Howser: Songbird of Manzanar\n </a>\n </i>\n (2005);\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Hidden_Legacy:_Japanese_Traditional_Performing_Arts_in_the_WWII_Internment_Camps_(film)\" title=\"Hidden Legacy: Japanese Traditional Performing Arts in the WWII Internment Camps (film)\">\n Hidden Legacy: Japanese Traditional Arts in the World War II Internment Camps\n </a>\n </i>\n (2014)\n </p>\n <div id=\"RelatedArticlesDisplay\">\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Related_Articles\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Related_Articles\">\n Related Articles\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p class=\"mw-empty-elt\">\n </p>\n <div id=\"RelatedArticlesSectionDisplay\">\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"\">\n <h3>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"\">\n </span>\n </h3>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p class=\"mw-empty-elt\">\n </p>\n <ul>\n <li>\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Documentary_films/videos_on_incarceration\" title=\"Documentary films/videos on incarceration\">\n Documentary films/videos on incarceration\n </a>\n </li>\n </ul>\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n</div>\n",
