ABOUT PILGRIMAGE
22min, 2006
Directed & Edited by Tadashi Nakamura – tadashinakamura.com
Produced by Karen L. Ishizuka
Exec. Produced by Robert A. Nakamura
PILGRIMAGE tells the inspiring story of how an abandoned WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans has been transformed into a symbol of retrospection and solidarity for people of all ages, races and nationalities in our post 9/11 world.
With a hip music track, never-before-seen archival footage and a story-telling style that features young and old, PILGRIMAGE reveals how the Japanese American community reclaimed a national experience that had almost been deleted from public understanding. PILGRIMAGE shows how the annual Manzanar Pilgrimage now has new meaning for diverse generations who realize that when the US government herded thousands of innocent Americans into what the government itself called concentration camps, it was failure of democracy that would affect all Americans.

Unofficial Official Story Season 4 Trailer
Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about the world’s greatest mysteries and darkest corners. We’re kicking off Season 4 with a bang, unraveling the threads of history’s most scandalous conspiracies and unexplained phenomena. From the possibility of octopuses as extraterrestrial gourmets of our oceans to the haunting twists behind the Astroworld tragedy, we’re leaving no stone unturned.
Grab your magnifying glass and join us—we’re examining the intricate fabric of reality itself. What if Winnie the Pooh isn’t just a cuddly children’s character but an allegory for something far more profound? And Bruce Lee’s untimely demise—could it be an ancient martial arts secret or merely an aquatic accident? Be the first to join us on April 18th as we explore whether extraterrestrial forces had a hand (or tentacle) in scripting the Holy Bible, and debate whether our journey could take us plummeting off the edge of a flat Earth—or into an interdimensional safety net. With Dwayne by our side, we’re navigating these mind-bending inquiries and sharing our wildest findings.

Season 3 Best of Unofficial Official Story Podcast
Strap in for a quick, thrilling recap of our unforgettable third season! We ventured into psychopathic supermarket encounters, delved into past-life ponderings, and toyed with tantalizing alien theories. Remember the chilling Sam Haskell story or the wit of comedian Jasmine Ellis? From skeptics to adventurers, we juggled science, faith, and the supernatural. As we bid this season goodbye, get ready for a cosmic journey next season, debating if our ancestors were chummy with extraterrestrials and dissecting the unofficial, yet oh-so-official tales of our world. Hold on tight!
