Watch the Documentary "Baseball Behind Barbed Wire"

PBS Hawai‘i has made the documentary Baseball Behind Barbed Wire available to the public, ensuring that the story of baseball in Japanese American incarceration camps reaches communities in Hawai‘i and beyond. The film highlights the role of baseball at Arizona’s Gila River camp, where it served as a source of resilience and hope for those imprisoned during World War II.

The documentary has a runtime of 26 minutes and 47 seconds and is available to watch online until January 2026 at PBS Hawai‘i’s website. This effort helps preserve and share an important chapter of Japanese American history.
