HOLD THESE TRUTHS

Written by Jeanne Sakata
Directed by Lisa Rothe
Performed by Joel de la Fuente

Inspired by a true story, Hold These Truths takes place in Seattle during World War II, where University of Washington student Gordon Hirabayashi is agonizing over U.S. government orders to forcibly remove and mass incarcerate all people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast. As he fights to reconcile his country's betrayal with his passionate belief in the U.S. Constitution, Hirabayashi journeys toward a greater understanding of America's triumphs and a confrontation with its failures.
