For anyone interested, the Japan Society of San Diego is having a free screening of a short (??) documentary that "reveals the rather unknown history
of the Japanese community in Tijuana."
Location:
Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice, Theatre and Rotunda
University of San Diego Room 253
Fee: Free to the Public
This short documentary directed and produced by Shinpei Takeda reveals the rather unknown history of the Japanese community in Tijuana that has
existed since the 1920s. The documentary weaves the images taken by the first documentary photographer of Tijuana, Kingo Nonaka with testimonials from
the first, second and the third generations. The documentary also highlights the history of post-globalized city Tijuana by shedding light on stories
like the plight of Japanese community during World War II to a story of contemporary economical and cultural connections between Japan and Mexico.Santiago - 1-17-2008 at 09:35 AM
