The feature documentary 80 YEARS LATER explores the racial inheritance of Japanese American family incarceration during World War II through multigenerational conversations with survivors and their descendants.
In the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 that imprisoned 120,000 Japanese Americans in World War II, families still grapple with the legacy of their experience. How does one inherit traumatic history across generations?

Baseball with Dad
A misguided father forces his unwilling son to spend a day with him learning to play the family pastime of baseball. A tradition that goes back further than he could ever imagine. With the help of an old family bat, both sides learn more about each other and what a relationship means between a father and son.
Blaming & Shaming
Baseball with Dad
Baseball with Dad
In a modern portrayal of events following Sita's rescue from her abductor Ravana, as detailed in the Hindu epic poem The Ramayana, Sita finds herself in therapy and wrestles with the psychological effects of her abduction and slut shaming, leaving her with even more questions than answers.
Despite the connection to the characters' ancient Hindu origin stories, this tale is relatable to so many as the themes in the tale continue to repeat, even today.
Because these topics are sensitive by definition, viewers may find themselves in a place of discomfort and hopefully will learn a little about themselves through that discomfort.
