Ellen Wu appears in last week's episode ("Cameras") of the new CAMPU podcast ("the story of Japanese American incarceration like you’ve never heard it before") from DENSHO . Episode description from CAMPU producers: "Pictures allow us to peer into the past, but those images are often far more complicated than what initially meets the eye. Photographs (and the people who took them) portrayed Japanese Americans as menacing threats, as hapless victims, as model Americans. But there were also covert acts of resistance playing out on both sides of the camera. In this episode, we talk about the visual record of WWII incarceration and the stories that unfolded behind the lens. About what you see—and what you don’t." She highly recommends CAMPU as a fresh and lively take on the history of Japanese Americans and World War II.
