Color silent amateur films by Dave Tatsuno (1913-2006), a businessman in the San Francisco Bay area. Composed largely of home movie clips, taken 1942-1945, of the environment the Japanese Americans lived in during World War II in forced exclusion at the Topaz concentration camp near Delta, Utah.
This segment (01:23) shows a sign made of pebbles embedded in dirt, "Thanksgiving 1943"; a sign, "Block 41 Residents Only" and Japanese text; staff from the Block 41 mess hall; a worker bangs on a rusty metal pan; two men stand outside the Block Manager's office; six women pose outside a barrack; a young woman in a coat; a camp building.
