The Manzanar Fishing Club is screening Friday in Santa Monica at the Laemmle Monica 4. The film chronicles the World War II internment of Japanese Americans from a new and unique perspective.
The Manzanar Fishing Club is about how some of those unjustly imprisoned Japanese risked their lives to fish for trout in the surrounding waters in the Eastern Sierra. They risked their lives, sneaking past armed guards and through barbed wire, to taste sweet freedom and regain lost dignity, if even for a brief moment. The film speaks to the human spirit and carries with it valuable life lessons for everyone.
On Saturday, the “voices” of the Manzanar Fishing Club will be available to meet with the public after the 7:30 p.m. showing. I was proud to have been chosen to narrate Act III of this very enlightening film and will be among the attendees.
