Film by Emily Hanako Momohara. (45 mins, 2022). A coming-of-age journey in the midst of war and bravery, Namba introduces us to May Namba, a Japanese American woman incarcerated during WWII, narrated by her granddaughter Miyako. May loses her job and her father is taken away by the FBI. She was then incarcerated at Minidoka, one of 10 prison camps for Americans of Japanese descent. Yet throughout the journey, we witness May’s incredible resilience and how it forges a life of community and service.
