My grandmother recounts a life spent between America and Japan, a childhood behind barbed wire, an adulthood of hard work and love. She describes herself as normal, but her story is anything but.

My microphone glitched halfway through the first take so here’s a continuation.

My grandpa and I talked about our family history! We really talked a lot about his parents, my great-grandparents, and how their struggles to be accepting in a time period that was not very accepting.

I interviewed my grandfather in order to learn more about his experience living in a Japanese internment camp during WWII.
