THE BOOK OF DISTANCE
In 1935, Yonezo Okita left his home in Japan to start a new life in Canada, but soon after, World War II and rampant institutional racism changed everything. Suddenly, he was the enemy.
In the award-winning experience The Book of Distance, Yonezo’s grandson leads us on an interactive pilgrimage through his grandfather’s tumultuous, heart-wrenching life in an effort to recover what was once lost.
