Family gathering

Five days after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, the F.B.I. arrested Masuo Yasui, a 30-year resident of the United States, as “potentially dangerous” enemy alien. Forty years later, Masuo’s granddaughter journeys to uncover stories about her family’s experiences from their homes and interned by the U.S. government. Through a striking mix of home movies, photos archival footage, and interviews, “Family gathering” offers a deeply personal look at the repercussions of those events- and the myths, memories, and silences surrounding Yasui’s family history.
