passing poston opens friday in los angeles


This Friday, Joseph Fox's film Passing Poston opens for a limited theatrical run at the ImaginAsian Center in Los Angeles. It's a documentary that tells the moving and haunting story of four former internees of the Poston Relocation Center in Arizona during World War II, struggling to reconcile this painful part of their past with their identities as Americans. Watch the trailer here.

Here's a Los Angeles Times article on the internees from back in February: Celebrating a shared history. The film opens on July 11, for a one-week run. For showtimes, go here. The director and the featured Poston internees present for a Q & A after all shows on Sunday, July 13. For more information about the film, visit the website here.
