Screening of Documentary ‘Our Lost Years’ at Aratani

The Japanese American Cultural & Community Center will present a screening of “Our Lost Years,” a new film written and directed by Lane Nishikawa, on Sunday, June 23, at 2 p.m. at the Aratani Theatre, 244 S. San Pedro St. in Little Tokyo.

Q&A with the director immediately following.

The San Diego Chapter JACL, working with Nishikawa, produced a professional feature-length educational documentary film to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066. “Our Lost Years” examines how lives were challenged, how livelihoods were lost, how families persevered and started over, and how the generations who have followed continue to feel the effect of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
