Asian American Studies at Stanford University

01/05/2023

Happy New Year. My name is Emi Kuboyama and I am the co-creator of Redress, a short film that provides the first in-depth look at the historic Japanese-American reparations program as told by those who both administered and participated in it.

Although I currently work at Stanford University, I began my career as an attorney working with the Office of Redress Administration. Through this film, I sought to pay tribute to those who fought to create the historic program, as well as the government professionals and community members who carried it out.

I invite you to watch the film to hear these untold stories be brought to life, and share it with those in your community to bring greater awareness to this important time in history. Please consider sharing this post to your social media platforms.

If you’re interested in further engaging with the film, please reach out. My co-creator, Todd Holmes, a UC Berkeley oral historian, and I would be happy to speak to a class or community organization about the film.

It is our hope that this documentary contributes to further discussions on Japanese American redress and the lessons it holds for future movements.

For more information about the film and its place in history, please visit www.japaneseamericanredress.org.

Warmly,

Emi Kuboyama
