"description": "Video essay by Emiko Omori on the 75th anniversary of\n \n Executive Order 9066\n \n that traces the story of the wartime forced removal and incarceration through moving and still images and spare original music by Janice Giteck and Todd Boekelheide. The film begins with images of the\n \n Issei\n \n period, moving on to images of the incarceration, and to various aspect of life in the concentration camps beginning with happier scenes before turning to harsher ones, including images of post-segregation\n \n Tule Lake\n \n and documents describing shooting victims at\n \n Manzanar\n \n and\n \n draft resistance\n \n . The film moves on to images connected to Nisei soldiers in camp and on the battlefield before ending with camp cemeteries and images of the sites today. The title refers to a Japanese proverb and also to Omori's 1999 documentary,\n \n Rabbit in the Moon\n \n .",
