The outbreak of the Pacific War led to the internment of Japanese Americans, who lost everything and were sent to internment camps. Among them was Toyo Miyatake, a photographer. He secretly smuggled a forbidden lens into the Manzanar internment camp and built a handmade camera to document the camp’s reality. What do Toyo’s photographs reveal? Through his work, the film depicts the life in the camps and the history of Japanese Americans.
