"Hidden Internment: The Art Shibayama Story"
Through first-person narrative, archival footage and other forms of media, Peek Media produced a documentary on the life of Art Shibayama, a San Jose resident originally from Lima, Peru, who was taken by the US officials at the age of thirteen. Art's experiences reveal not only the hidden saga of the interned Japanese Peruvians, but continue to address the legacy of civil liberties and human rights doctrine.
