Emiko Omori’s poetic documentary tells the story of Japanese incarceration in the United States, bringing to light the courageous acts of protest and rebellion that have been too often overlooked. Beautifully rendered, Rabbit in the Moon bravely lifts the gag that once muted a culture’s voice of anger. With Chris Kennedy’s lay claim to an island, which revisits the 1969 takeover of Alcatraz Island by the American Indian movement.
