Time of Fear tells its story using archival still and moving images—including home movie footage of Jerome taken by Akira and Yoshio Hayashi—along with recreations and interviews with Japanese American former inmates (along with Senator Daniel Inouye) and both white and African American Arkansans. In addition to conveying the standard aspects of the expulsion and incarceration story, the documentary covers aspects of the story unique to Arkansas including the impact of segregationist governor Homer Adkins, the mixed reaction of local residents, and the complications of introducing a large population that was neither black nor white into the binary Jim Crow environment.\r\n\r\nOriginal video held at the UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture.\r\n\r\nSee this item in the Densho Resource Guide at: Time of Fear (film).\r\n\r\nSee this item in the Digital Library of the Japanese American Incarceration Films at: https://archive.org/details/ddr-densho-1024-95.","extent":"0:59:57","links_children":"ddr-densho-1024-95","creators":[{"role":"Writer, Director","namepart":"Williams, Sue"},{"role":"Producer","namepart":"Dietz, Kathryn"},{"role":"Editor","namepart":"Sharp, Howard"},{"role":"Composer","namepart":"Phillips, Tom"},{"role":"Narrator","namepart":"Thomas, Peter"}],"format":"av","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Densho","rights":"cc","genre":"motion_picture","creation":"2004","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Williams, Sue Writer, Director \nDietz, Kathryn Producer \nSharp, Howard Editor \nPhillips, Tom Composer \nThomas, Peter Narrator","download_large":"ddr-densho-1024-95-mezzanine-fb82c6a01f-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-sjacl-2-39","model":"entity","index":"22 122/{'value': 141, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-sjacl-2-39/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-sjacl-2-39/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-39-1-mezzanine-5a1ba70fb7-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-sjacl-2/ddr-sjacl-2-39-1-mezzanine-5a1ba70fb7-a.jpg"},"title":"Bill Tashima Interview","description":"In this interview, Ana Tanaka led a conversation with Bill Tashima.

Bill has extensive experience with Seattle JACL's advocacy, community outreach, civil rights and for ensuring the continuation of JACL's scholarships supporting the next generations of Japanese American leaders. He is well known as a Japanese American leader, twice Seattle JACL president, and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, whose intersectionality of identities shaped him as the individual and activist he is today. As an example was a key moment when he spoke out and shared experiences in the 2003 JACL National Convention speaking in support regarding a resolution protesting the Boy Scouts decision to exclude gay scouts. A key part of Bill's work has been his efforts on the preservation of Seattle JACL's heritage with his leadership of the Legacy Project, of which this recording is a part of.","extent":"1:15:55","links_children":"ddr-sjacl-2-39","creators":[{"role":"narrator","id":1037,"namepart":"Bill Tashima"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Elaine Kim"},{"role":"interviewer","namepart":"Dr. Kyle Kinoshita"}],"format":"vh","language":["eng"],"contributor":"Seattle JACL","rights":"cc","genre":"interview","creation":"18-Mar-22","status":"completed","search_hidden":"Bill Tashima narrator \nElaine Kim interviewer \nDr. Kyle Kinoshita interviewer","download_large":"ddr-sjacl-2-39-1-mezzanine-5a1ba70fb7-a.jpg"},{"id":"ddr-densho-1024-42","model":"entity","index":"23 123/{'value': 141, 'relation': 'eq'}","links":{"html":"https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-1024-42/","json":"https://ddr.densho.org/api/0.2/ddr-densho-1024-42/","img":"https://ddr.densho.org/media/ddr-densho-1024/ddr-densho-1024-42-mezzanine-38d27452f6-a.jpg","thumb":"http://ddrmedia.local/media/ddr-densho-1024/ddr-densho-1024-42-mezzanine-38d27452f6-a.jpg"},"title":"Voices Behind Barbed Wire (Hawai'i Island Version)","description":"Short film that tells the story of Japanese Americans on Big Island of Hawai'i who were interned during World War II using a combination of contemporary interviews, historical photographs and footage, and historical reenactments.
