For the tens of thousands of Japanese Americans forcibly interned during World War II, the scars have never healed.

Passing Poston tells the moving and haunting story of four former internees of the Poston Relocation Center. Each shadowed by a tragic past, each struggling to reconcile the trauma experienced as a youth, each still searching and yearning in the twilight of life to find his or her rightful place in this country.

A Q&A featuring Ruth Okimoto & Mary Higashi, two of the subjects in the documentary, will follow the screening.

Advance Tickets are $15 each and available by contacting Frank Koo at Frank@naaapphoenix.org

**Please note - payment must be received by the deadline of October 10
Tickets are non-refundable

(Tickets are $20 each if purchased at the door day of the event)
