We’re excited to partner with the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival to present NOBUKO MIYAMOTO: A SONG IN MOVEMENT, directed by Quyên Nguyen-Le and Tadashi Nakamura.

Through the lens of directors Tadashi Nakamura and Quyên Nguyen-Le, this compelling documentary captures the bold journey of visionary artist-activist Nobuko Miyamoto. From her upbringing in a Japanese American internment camp to her breakthrough as a performer in films and on Broadway, Miyamoto reflects on how her personal encounters with racial injustice inspired her blending of artistic endeavours with Asian American advocacy. Her thoughtfully created music, dances, and theatre productions carry on to bridge cultural divides and facilitate mutual support among BIPOC communities.

This film is preceded by FILE NO. 2304, directed by A.S.M Kobayashi. This short documentary uncovers details about her Japanese family’s history and their lives before the internment.
