Quote:
"[Mieko] Ouchi's film [By This Parting] re-presents the experience of interned Japanese Canadians from their own perspective, in their own words and images. Ouchi provides a highly imaginative re-visioning of the internment experience through the intersection of different media—photographs, poetry, music and dance—to represent the story of an aunt, Mrs Chiba, who was interned at New Denver."
-- Christopher E. Gittings
