My Immigrant Story
Directed By: Yuriko Gamo Romer
 
With immigration in flux and this time of global uncertainty, I was reminded of my own story. Inspired by a treasure trove of my father’s 8mm home movies and a little known story, I edited together this short film. Just thirteen years after Japan’s surrender of WWII, my family moved to the U.S. Only a year old and not old enough to understand, my father was recruited as a research scientist and set my life path to become an American citizen.
