The Ito Sisters captures the stories of three Japanese American sisters, interviewed in their eighties and nineties, as they recount how their immigrant parents struggled to make a life in the United States in the early twentieth century. The family’s chronicle is set against the backdrop of the anti-Japanese movement in California, a sixty-year campaign by politicians, journalists, landowners, and labor leaders that culminated in the evacuation and incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. The winner of awards at the Berkeley Video and Film Festival, the Sacramento Japanese Film Festival, and the Boston Asian American Film Festival, this documentary was written, directed, and produced by Antonia Grace Glenn, the granddaughter of the middle sister. A Q&A session with Glenn and Smithsonian Asian Pacific American History specialist Noriko Sanefuji follows the screening.
