"The moving story of Estelle Ishigo, one of the few Caucasians to be interned with 110,000 Japanese-Americans in 1942 is described by the filmmaker as 'truly an American tragedy'. Estelle recorded the deprivations of the camp in her sketches and watercolours. The film is a tribute to a spirit that refused to accept injustice and defeat despite Estelle's bitter childhood and the destruction of her life and that of her husband as a result of internment.
