Darren Haruo Rae - NISEI - 2024 WYOIFF - Episode 251
Manage episode 427821761 series 3427694
This week I return to the Wyoming International Film Festival. WYOIFF has easily become one of my top festival picks and I encourage filmmakers and film goers to check it out. The festival takes place July 9-14, 2024 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. If you find yourself anywhere near eastern Wyoming this week, find the time to see some of these incredible films.
Thanks for listening!

Inspired by stories from the director's grandfather, 'Nisei' follows the journey of two Japanese-American brothers during World War II, Minoru and John Miyasaki. Stripped of their citizenship and placed in internment camps, they volunteer for the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an all Japanese-American unit that sacrificed everything, to prove their loyalty to a country that doesn’t want them. Torn between country and family, they must face the enemy overseas along with adversity back home."
