Quote:
"When I began work on the film [Displaced View], I decided immediately that my primary audience would be the Japanese-Canadian communities. Within that community, my priority viewer would be the Issei, first-generation JCS. I felt that this generation, my grandmother's was dying out, and it was important for me to convey their story in their language."
