A Flicker in Eternity, directed by Ann Kaneko and Sharon Yamato, is a wonderful short documentary that tells the coming-of-age story of Stanley Hayami, a Japanese American teenager who finds himself incarcerated behind barbed wire during World War II. Based on Hayami's actual diary, letters and drawings, the film is a beautiful homage to a young man full of hope and promise who gave his life for a country that betrayed him.
The film is currently winding down a Indiegogo fundraising campaign to outreach and bring Stanley's story to classrooms and community groups across the country. Take a look at the trailer:
