TAKE ME HOME cover image
Explores a piece of American history from WW II that many children are unfamiliar with, the internment of Japanese Americans. Telling it from the child's point of view makes it more real, especially stories about leaving the family pet and toys behind. Archival footage well chosen.
Picture a boy's face, pressed against a cold window on a train toward nowhere, his small feet stepping down into the desert landscape of a place far from home. 'TAKE ME HOME' provides an intimate foray into the Japanese American experience of WWII - a story of exile and endurance as seen through the eyes of a child.
