(This interview was conducted by filmmaker Frank Abe for his 2000 documentary, Conscience and the Constitution, about the World War II resisters of conscience at the Heart Mountain incarceration camp. As a result, the interviews in this collection are typically not life histories, instead primarily focusing on issues surrounding the resistance movement itself.)","extent":"01:39:02","links_children":"ddr-densho-122-20","creators":[{"role":"narrator","oh_id":142,"namepart":"Frank Emi"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Frank Abe"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Frank Chin"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"persons":[{"nr_id":"88922/nr004xx71","namepart":"Emi, Frank Seishi"}],"contributor":"Frank Abe Collection","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","location":"Los Angeles, California","creation":"January 30, 1998","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Frank Emi narrator \nFrank Abe interviewer \nFrank Chin interviewer Emi, Frank Seishi 88922nr004xx71","download_large":"denshovh-efrank-03-a.jpg"},{"id":"527","model":"narrator","index":"21 121/{'value': 816, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/narrators/527/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/527/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ijames.jpg","thumb":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/narrators/ijames.jpg","interviews":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/narrator/527/interviews/"},"display_name":"James O.
