Desolate Dreams is a narrative short film about the close friendship between an African American journalist and a Japanese American family during World War II—just as they are forcibly removed from their home and sent to incarceration camps. Grounded in the African American and Japanese heritage of filmmaker Kiyoka “Kex” Rhodes, Desolate Dreams reclaims an often-overlooked chapter of American history and invites deeper reflection, community dialogue, and educational engagement.
