She retraces her father's remarkable life to uncover the untold stories of Japanese Canadians-from his childhood in Vancouver's vibrant Japantown, his teen years interned in a remote ghost town, to where he received his samurai sword while serving with the Canadian Intelligence Corps in Singapore at only 20.
