FACING THE MOUNTAIN provides a portrait of Japanese American life during World War II, but its lessons have never been more relevant than now.  Since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, we have seen a rise in anti-Asian sentiment throughout the country. FACING THE MOUNTAIN forces us to grapple with questions of who willingly and unwillingly makes sacrifices for our country, how constitutional rights look different to each of us, and what it really means to be a patriot. Unblinking, unsentimental, and without euphemism FACING THE MOUNTAIN lays out in vivid detail how the American government and people treated the Japanese Americans, before and during the war, and why that matters today.
