[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Set in 1971, against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, Strawberry Fields tackles the minefield between cultural history and personal memory. After a visitation from the ghost of her sister, a rebellious 16 yr old Japanese-American girl hits the road with her boyfriend in search of a better life. Hooking with activist friends along the way, she comes to an important realization about her past: that her parents were incarcerated in an internment camp during WWII.
