Two short independent films explore the immigrant experience in America. In Turbans, an Asian Indian family is torn between their cultural traditions and the desire for social acceptance in America. Although born in the United States, the Singh boys are attacked for being different. The turbansthey wear, a tradition sacred to their Sikh ancestors, serve only to identify them as outsiders in the prejudiced landscape of Astoria, Oregon, circa 1918. In Eagle Against the Sun, set in 1941, a 17-year-old Japanese-American girl's dreams of the perfect senior year are shattered when she and her family are sent to an internment camp. This Student Academy Award-winning dramatic short is an intimate portrait of the toll that internment took on the lives of Japanese Americans during and after World War II.
