| | Synopsis
|
"Sandy Saito looks back to his childhood in 1940s Vancouver, when
he was eight years old. He's a happy kid: he goes to school, reads
comic books and is obsessed with baseball—especially the Asahi
baseball team, the pride of the Japanese-Canadian community. Then the
Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor—and everything changes. The kids Sandy
used to play with every day now call him names and chase him from the
playground. He and his family are no longer permitted to go outside
at night or visit certain areas of the city. Japanese-Canadians are
stripped of their rights, their jobs and their homes, and soon the
government begins to round up Japanese families, sending them to
internment camps. It isn't long before Sandy's family is among
them"—
