UNAMERICA - Relocating memories

This film deals with the commemoration of the internment of Japanese-Americans at the former War Relocating Center in Manzanar during World War II. Annually, since 1973 on the last weekend of April survivors, their relatives, as well as sympathizing groups come together to commemorate the forced displacement and detention of more than 10,000 people to Manzanar. In her video Luise Schröder focusses on different historical, political and visual narratives with the purpose to understand how and in which way the historical events are represented and reconstructed today.
