For our sixth episode, the Stories Empowered team interviewed Hina Kojima, a high school junior who created the short film Relive to Remember with her sister Kana, aiming to encourage diversity and spread knowledge about the Japanese prison camps from World War II. Throughout this episode, Hina talked about her experience as a Japanese American who recently moved to the United States and how that helped her notice the underrepresentation of people of color in American history classes. Following that, Hina discussed how she came to realize that each family had a unique story to tell, as well as how remembering these stories can serve as a form of protest because it raises awareness about patterns of oppression in U.S. history. Finally, Hina emphasized the importance of broadening one’s perspective by listening to the experiences and wisdom of others.
