    “Manzanar, Diverted” Screening and Director Q&A – moved to Kane Hall

    Please note that this program has been moved to a new location, Kane Hall, University of Washington. 
    The Walter Chapin Simpson Center is hosting a set of activities around the screening of “Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust,” a film by Japanese American director Ann Kaneko in collaboration with Native executive producer (Tracy Rector, Choctaw/Seminole). The film tells the story of the Manzanar concentration camp in southern California, as well as the longer history of the dispossession of the Nüümü (Paiute) and News (Shoshone) lands called Payahüünadü, the place where the water always flows. “Manzanar, Diverted” combines Native, Japanese American, and settler narratives about loss and repair. As Nanette Kelley (Osage Nation/Cherokee Nation) observes, the film explores a “layered history of mistreated peoples.”
    Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with the director and other collaborators.
    ADMISSION
