Dave, with the help of a camp official, smuggled his 8mm film camera into the camp in Topaz, Utah and for three years, documented his life behind barbed wire. These home movies eventually became TOPAZ MEMORIES, the only full color film of the Japanese American internment experience shot by an internee and in 1996 the film was accepted to The Library of Congress National Film Registry. To date, it is one of only two home movies held by the Library of Congress - the other being the Zapruder film of the J.F.K. assassination. DAVE TATSUNO, MOVIES AND MEMORIES tells the amazing life story of this inspiring individual. Written by Anonymous See less
