| Summary: | This experimental documentary chronicles Janice Tanaka's search for a father she has not seen since she was three years old. Possessing only sketchy information, that he had protested the internment of Japanese-American citizens after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by writing letters to the President, that he had been arrested by the FBI and subsequently diagnosed as a schizophrenic with paranoid tendencies and institutionalized, Tanaka searched for her missing father for three and half years. Her hour-long documentary blends social and personal memory into an evocative portrait of identity and loss. |
