KINTSUKUROI n.

1. the Japanese art of repairing pottery using gold
2. the strength and beauty found in something that has been shattered

Like every immigrant family, the Itos came to the United States to build a better life. After years of struggle and sacrifice, the dream that was America seemed within its grasp. Then the bombs fell and the world changed forever …

With a stroke of his pen, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 and effectively destroyed the lives of 120,000 Japanese Americans at the beginning of WWII.

KINTSUKUROI follows members of the Ito family from their pre-war life in San Francisco’s Japantown to the concentration camps of the American West to the battlefields of Europe as they endure one of the most shameful periods in American history.

Ikeibi Films is proud to partner with the JACL Pacific Southwest District for this fundraiser screening. The film features Ryan Takemiya, Kealani Kitaura, Ken Takeda, Ron Munekawa, Kiyomi Koide and Chizu Omori.
