The story of Japanese American Incarceration has, like many historical events, become the subject of countless books, movies, and other media. Though until recently, it was a story unshared by a major television network. With the premiere of AMC's The Terror: Infamy, the story of the incarceration made its way into the homes of hundreds of thousands of viewers. In this special episode of the Yon-Say, hosts Matt and Hiro get to sit down with The Terror: Infamy's own Derek Mio! Join the discussion as the three of them look at getting into the entertainment industry, the importance of telling Asian American stories, and what it was like bringing the story of the incarceration to a new generation with a twist.
