Free Documentary Film Series Examines War & Citizenship at Go For Broke Launch on Memorial Day Weekend May 28, 2016
Film Makers David Ono, Sharon Yamato, Sandra Robbie & Joan Mandell Screen Documentaries followed by Q&A with Mitch Maki
Go For Broke National Education Center (GFBNEC) will launch its new Defining Courage exhibition on Saturday, May 28,2016, with a Free Homecoming Festival and Film Screening in the Little Tokyo district of Los Angeles.
Honoring Memorial Day, the film series examines the war and civil rights in the past and present. Focusing on stories from World War II, the struggle for civil rights in California and the current political climate, these films create a dialogue that links our past with the future.
Each film is followed by a Q&A with the director and Mitch Maki, dean of the College of Health and Human Services at California State University, Dominguez Hills. To learn more, please visit www.GoForBroke.org. All films are free to the public.
An expert on the issue of redress for the survivors of the internment camps, Maki says he is led by the desire to "make a difference in people's lives for the better and wanting to empower individuals and communities to address issues of social justice."
