Quote:
"I haven't seen a narrative film that looks at Japanese-Canadian identity in this way before. I think a lot of Japanese-Canadian people will relate [to Seagrass]—in terms of what has been lost as a result of trauma from incarceration. [...] There are a lot of people who don't know these stories, even a lot of people who have family members who went through that time period because it wasn't something that was spoken about."
