During my first year of teaching I went on a field trip to the Japanese American Museum in Los Angeles. While there I picked up a videos that was made by Toyo Miyake called "Infinite Shades of Gray". The video is short (about 30 minutes) but the footage is terrific. Miyake "smuggled" into Manzanar a camera that allowed him to capture the daily lives of Japanese prisoners. The film is really a mini biography, but it is worth showing students due to the great photos he captured in the camps. If you're around LA visit the museum and pick up a copy.
