Description: A Japanese-Canadian family is forever altered by the cruelties of World War II. At once a portrait of life in internment and a meditation on the endurance of the human spirit, Frances Itani's Requiem is an unforgettable journey through one man's past and into a dark moment in history, beautifully rendered ... After spending his youth in an internment camp during World War II, Bin Okuma travels across Canada to find his biological father despite his leaving a devastating legacy.
