An adaptation by Vancouver-based Hiro Kanagawa of Mark Sakamoto’s memoir, Forgiveness is the true story of Sakamoto’s grandparents during World War II. Ralph, his maternal grandfather, was a Canadian soldier of European descent who spent years in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. Mitsue, his paternal grandmother, was one of the thousands of Japanese Canadians interned by the Canadian government during the war. Despite their unspeakable experiences, Mitsue and Ralph would persevere and find forgiveness in their hearts so that their children’s inheritance was not hate but love. Spanning over 30 years and two continents, Forgiveness explores the enduring love of family and celebrates the resiliency of the human spirit.
