I am an Oregon-native who has been a journalist and filmmaker for more than a decade and has served as a spokesman for government human rights organizations in Washington and Copenhagen. I've interviewed U.S. presidents and presidential candidates and won honors from the Associated Press and others for my political, public health and investigative reporting, but no story has been as rewarding to tell as Prisoners and Patriots. The Japanese-American families who let me into their homes touched my heart, and I'm honored to make sure their legacies are preserved in this documentary.
