Building on the original Paper Chase documentary, this upcoming sequel will focus specifically on the history of Japanese American newspapers in the United States. The film will explore how these publications documented community life, shared vital information, and preserved stories that might otherwise have disappeared.

This project weaves together life stories we’ve already captured with an examination of how Japanese American newspapers covered these experiences in real time. Donations support research, production, interviews, and outreach to ensure this important history reaches a wider audience.
