Poston Documentary Film

In Person
Japanese American National Museum
100 North Central Ave Los Angeles, California, United States of America

Date: Sept. 24, 2012



The Poston Community Alliance is searching for former Poston internees who were mothers in camp and also their descendants to interview for the documentary film.  The Alliance has expanded its focus for the film to include a multi-generation approach that will include:  Sansei, Yonsei and Gosei. To view a trailer of our film, For the Sake of the Children, go to

We will be conducting information-gathering sessions to collect the stories of each generation.  We will hold sessions at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles on September 24, 2012 at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.
