Color silent amateur films by Dave Tatsuno (1913-2006), a businessman in the San Francisco Bay area. Composed largely of home movie clips, taken 1942-1945, of the environment the Japanese Americans lived in during World War II in forced exclusion at the Topaz concentration camp near Delta, Utah.

This brief segment shows a well-dressed mixed group posing for the camera; camp project director Charles Ernst; Alice Tatsuno with George LaFabreque, head of Topaz's social welfare department, and his wife Signe (00:32).
