Landscapes of Home – Virtual Program

The film follows two mid-20th century doctors: Henry Ryusuke Shibata, a Japanese-Canadian born in Vancouver, and Stuart Cooper Robinson, a Canadian born in Nagoya, Japan. World War II uproots their lives. Shibata faces internment in the Rockies, Robinson is driven from Japan. The documentary captures their resilience amid displacement.
