Kiyoshi Kuromiya (1943-2000) was on Google epage. Fantastic film. Great man.

Born in a Japanese confinement camp (click here) during World War II, Kiyoshi Kuromiya (1943-2000) was active in the Civil Rights movement and in anti-war protests as an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania. Kuromiya later co-authored books with Buckminster Fuller and became a founding member of ACT UP Philadelphia, which is still ACTing UP for housing justice in Philadelphia and fighting back against HIV criminalization and stigmatization today.
