War Brides Of Japan: Helping Change U.S. Immigration Laws
Wednesday, March 1, 2017
Aloha, Hip Hapa Homeez.
Since the U.S. immigration ban fiasco of a few weeks ago, it’s notable how timely our War Brides of Japan documentary is.

Remember, the Immigration Act of 1924 prevented Asians from entering the U.S. However, during the American occupation of Japan following WWII, many GI’s—including my father—wanted to bring home the Japanese wives they’d married while being stationed there.
One of two historians in our film, Regina F. Lark, discusses in detail the impact of that law on screen.

Meanwhile, our editors are moving forward with the project. Please welcome Lynn Hammonds, author of Becoming Misako Kikuchi, who’s assisting with music licensing for the film.
