Initially inspired by Wax's book\n <i>\n Doing Fieldwork\n </i>\n , which he says was his introduction to Japanese Americans who resisted their confinement, he explores her role at Tule Lake and the allegations lodged against her by Matsuda, while telling the larger story of post-segregation Tule Lake. Maeda uses actors to recreate many key scenes from the story and also to read from the writings of the diarist Inouye and poet/essayist Matsuda. He also draws on archival interview of Masuda and Wax to augment their writings.\n </p>\n <p>\n Filmmaker Maeda was born in\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Manzanar\" title=\"Manzanar\">\n Manzanar\n </a>\n in 1945.

Maeda originally conceptualized the film as a narrative feature and wrote a script, but switched to a documentary format with re-creations for budgetary reasons. Its first preview screening took place on June 9, 2018 at the Santa Monica Library. Its official world premiere took place at the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Japanese_American_National_Museum\" title=\"Japanese American National Museum\">\n Japanese American National Museum\n </a>\n on October 15, 2022.\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</div>\n",
