Description

As part of our Commemoration 80th Anniversary of the end of WWII, we have arranged for ILana Sol to screen her award-winning Samurai in the Oregon Sky, a documentary about the Japanese Fire Bombings in Southern Oregon.

Film Summary: In 1942, Japanese pilot Nobuo Fujita catapulted his seaplane off of a submarine, flew over the forests of southern Oregon, and conducted the only manned aerial bombings of the United States mainland during WWII. He never dreamed he would one day be invited back to the region, where he would begin a 35-year friendship with the people of a small Oregon town. Samurai in the Oregon Sky tells the story of how Mr. Fujita came to refer to his former target as his “second home.”

Join us at the Aerodrome Theater on Saturday Augst 30th at 3:00PM. Filmmaker Ilana Sol will host the screening and answer your questions.

Admissions Fee:

  • Online Pre-Purchase price is $5 (plus ticketing fees) per person.
  • "Day off" pricing is $10 per person.
  • Kids under 10 are free.
