Words, Weavings, and Songs 2002

Directed by John Esaki

Wakako Yamauchi, Momo Nagano, and Mary Nomura were teenagers when they were interned in concentration camps during World War II. Behind barbed wire, their creative spirits remained undaunted—their lives fortified by art, music, and literature. Words, Weaves, and Songs profiles the three women artists on their art, personal stories, and experiences of internment.
