After accessing the 119 page custodial file of my great-grandfather, I\u2019ve discovered the case files of my relatives, their friends and a wider community of displaced people of Japanese descent. These historical documents detail inventories of their homes and fishing business, contain government correspondence, internal memos and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">court transcripts hastily recorded during the 1948 inquiry into war mismanagemen<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t, known as the Bird Commission<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. All <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adults named in the original documents have died, leaving their now elderly children, as the only first-person accounts of this period.

Relying on my family\u2019s custodial file as a guide, I will adapt this textual record into a feature length live documentary detailing my family\u2019s experience. Using video, sound, intimate family interviews and performances, a substantial photo archive, and the innovative format of a live auction, I welcome audiences to delve into my family\u2019s file, encouraging participation in accessing the inventory\u2019s value and join me in interpreting and humanizing its contents. <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-dd04dcbf\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-dd04dcbf\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-c5a12945\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-c5a12945\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-c5a12945\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Documentary Performance[in production]&nbsp;Similarly to the U.S., Canada forcibly incarcerated and dispossessed thousands of Canadian citizens of Japanese heritage, relocating them to internment camps, or in the case of my family, a sugar beet work farm in the Canadian Prairies.
