This musical, inspired by George Takei’s early life, tells of how approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans – men, women and children – were forced into internment camps in 1941, following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The Kimura family, comprising father Tatsuo (Masashi Fujimoto) and his California-born children, Sammy (Telly Leung) and Kei (Aynrand Ferrer), along with their grandfather (Takei), are taken to a camp in Wyoming. They become ideologically split after being forced to prove allegiance to their country although as Sammy says: “We are Americans.”
