| | 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"—
