Pilgrimage to Manzanar is a moving short documentary that follows a powerful intercommunal journey of remembrance and solidarity.

This important film, produced by the American Jewish Committee, documents a group of Jewish and Japanese American activists as they travel together to Manzanar, one of the most infamous incarceration sites where over 10,000 Japanese Americans were unjustly imprisoned during World War II. Through shared history, dialogue, and reflection, the documentary highlights how communities can unite to confront the past and stand together against injustice.  

The program will feature remarks by representatives from the Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles, followed by a panel discussion with participants from the pilgrimage and community leaders.

Watch the trailer.
