When the US government makes reparations for the injustices suffered by the Japanese Americans during World War II, memories of a stolen youth resurface for a Northern Californian Nisei farmer. Inspired by the filmmaker's late Father who spent three years of his childhood at the Tule Lake internment camp and later farmed tomatoes in Davis, CA.

Director: Dean Yamada
