17:00-20:00
screening Alan Parker’s Come See the Paradise (R356)
We cordially invite you to the second film club event of the Ethnic and Migration Studies Research Group at the Department of American Studies. The date of the program is March 30 (Thursday), 17:00–20:00. The topic of the film club is Come See the Paradise (1990). The film portrays the story of the Kawamura family, their life shortly before the outbreak of World War II, their eventual removal from the Little Tokyo district of Los Angeles and incarceration at Manzanar after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order No. 9066 on February 19, 1942. It is through the struggles of the Kawamura family that the film introduces the collective exclusion of the Japanese-American community from the West Coast and their incarceration for the duration of the war. As part of the program, Dr. Dániel Cseh will give a short presentation on the Exclusion and Incarceration of Japanese-Americans (1942–1945) as an introduction to the theme of the movie, which will be followed by the screening of the film and an open discussion afterwards.
