"Face-to-Face with the Filmmaker" — February 18, 6:30 pm

M**der IN THE HIGH DESERT recounts the M**der of an inmate at the Topaz concentration camp by the military in 1943, it's coverup, a lost monument found 77 years later, and the controversy of it's unearthing. The unearthing of the stone monument raises unsettling questions about how Japanese American history is told, preserved and, most importantly, by whom. M**der IN THE HIGH DESERT was directed by Emiko Omori.
