The 2021 Films of Remembrance, presented by the Nichi Bei Foundation, celebrated the 45th anniversary of the landmark film “Farewell to Manzanar” with a special screening and cast reunion. The 1976 made-for-TV film directed by John Korty taught the general U.S. population about the wartime incarceration of the Japanese American community during World War II — at a time when many Japanese American families themselves even refrained from talking about this dark chapter of American history.
“Farewell to Manzanar” was based upon the groundbreaking book by James D. and Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, which continues to be required reading in American classrooms. The film has also been distributed to California schools and libraries.
For this special reunion, actor Frank Abe rounded up his fellow cast and crew for a chat about their recollections of the landmark film that premiered on NBC.
A shorter version of this cast reunion premiered on Feb. 21 at the special Films of Remembrance screening at the West Wind Capitol Drive-In in San Jose.
