PBS Hawai'i Advanced Virtual Screening and Panel Discussion

Join us for an exclusive sneak peek of the PBS Hawaiʻi Presents film, Baseball Behind Barbed Wire.

Baseball Behind Barbed Wire tells the story of the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans through the lens of baseball, America’s national pastime. For many of the more than 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry stripped of their rights and detained from 1942-45, baseball saved their sanity.

Following the screening, join us for a discussion with:

  • Yuriko Gamo Romer, Director/Producer/Writer

  • Kerry Yo Nakagawa, Director of Nisei Baseball Research Project

The screening will be held from 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm followed by the panel discussion from 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm.
