I am really looking forward to watching it and was going to look for it after reading your post...what timing...

Rented it from Netflix. I'm a baseball fan so I enjoyed it. It told the story of Japanese Americans at that time well. I did see this movie. Rented it from Netflix.

Many of the members of the taiko group appeared in the movie. Some of them were decendents of people who were in the internment camps. For many, being an extra in that movie was a very emotional experience. I live in Salt Lake City, and I play with the local taiko group. Many of the members of the taiko group appeared in the movie.

There's a small monument, and there used to be an old wooden building like a storage shed but my dad said it burned down recently. Most of what used to be the grounds is farmland now. It gets really cold out there. The wind gets going fast—must have been difficult in those drafty barracks. I don't know if there are museums at any of the other sites I somehow doubt it. Seems like it's the kind of thing the government would like forgotten. No, there’s not much left.
