Watch the Premiere of the New Short Film Baseball Behind Barbed Wire |
|
From the team at Diamond Diplomacy and Baseball Behind Barbed Wire - Baseball Behind Barbed Wire tells the story of the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans, through the uncommon yet popular lens of baseball, America’s national pastime. The All-American pastime became a favorite for many incarcerees at all ten camps stretching from California to Wyoming to Arkansas – where we're having the film's WORLD PREMIERE.
Some of the camps had two or three fields and some had as many as thirty teams! If there was one thread that ran through this unforgiving history, it was baseball, still popular and still shared by the U.S. and Japan.
Next month, we're going to five major film festivals — Hot Springs, AR; Honolulu, HI; Newport Beach, CA; Washington, DC; and Palo Alto, CA.
And that's just October! So make sure to check out our upcoming screenings page for more schedules, tickets, and updates! |
