Free film screening of NAMBA: A Japanese American's Incarceration and Life of Resilience.

NAMBA tells the American story of May Namba, born in Seattle, WA in 1922 to an immigrant couple from Japan. May was incarcerated in the Minidoka Relocation Center where guards with machine guns loomed in towers overhead. May's granddaughter, Miyako, narrates and guides us through her grandmother's experiences living at Minidoka. Throughout the film May and Miyako share this complex history - the injustice and love of country - that's rarely discussed in history books.
