“Riveting and timely… storytelling at its absolute best”

“History—and its impact on the present—comes to life in this brilliant audio adaptation of Jeanne Sakata’s For Us All. The play tells the true story of a group of young lawyers who fought to overturn a 1944 Supreme Court case in which Fred Korematsu was convicted for resisting the mass internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. A talented cast of actors portrays the team of mostly Japanese American attorneys, capturing their boundless energy and emotional connection to the case. Perfectly executed audio effects make each scene easy to envision, from the bustling, under-funded law offices of the 1980s to the courtrooms packed with spectators. The power of this audio play is such that listeners will forget they aren’t at the theater. Riveting and timely, it’s audio storytelling at its absolute best, a must-listen experience about the atrocities committed by the U.S. government and the legacy of ordinary citizens fighting for justice.”
