ROW DON’T DRIFT

Row Don’t Drift: An American Legacy (2026) is an independent feature documentary film currently in its inaugural film festival run.

When Yoshi Kubo and his family are forcibly evicted from their California farm under the WWII Japanese exclusion order and confined in a bleak internment camp, he fears that his land and livelihood are lost to him forever. Forced to collaborate with unlikely allies and to choose between military conscription and imprisonment, Yoshi takes an unconventional stand against oppression. Through persecution and perseverance to triumph, his story has echoes that reverberate to the present day.
