Toyo Miyatake: Infinite Shades of Grey
NEW DOCS
A beautifully produced biography of a Japanese-American photographer, a mainstay of his Los Angeles community before, during and after World War II. Toyo Miyatake’s old home movies and stunning photographs bring to life the pre-war Little Tokyo neighborhood, uprooted when Japanese-Americans were removed to concentration camps. Toyo Miyatke secretly made photographs during his internment at Manzanar during the war, the film’s use of these documents makes a profound statement about art, tolerance, and identity. NK
