Summary

Sandy Sugawara and Catiana Garcia Kilroy collaborate on a book project titled Show Me the Way Home. It is an immersive, visual journey through the incarceration camps that held 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War 2. Sugawara and Kilroy tell the story of each camp through original and archival photographs, personal stories, and government documents. It's a frightening tale of a society that failed to protect its vulnerable. Sandy Sugawara is a Maryland-based photographer and journalist. After the death of her parents, Sandy turned her attention West, focusing on themes of family and memories through landscape. Catiana Garcia-Kilroy is a DC-based photographer and development economist. In her photography she seeks to recreate the experience of place, whether it is through single images of overlooked details or places, or in more elaborated narratives, linking landscape to the memory of personal stories and historical events.

1:07.8	On February 19, 1942, President Roosevelt signed off on Executive Order 9066.
1:16.6	That order during World War II led to the forced relocation and incarceration of hundreds of thousands of people of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were American citizens.
