The documentary, “One Fighting Irishman,” tells the story of attorney Wayne M. Collins whose uncompromising defense of the Constitution drove him to spend years representing over 5,000 of the most maligned Japanese Americans who renounced their American citizenship under duress while imprisoned at the Tule Lake Segregation Center during World War II.  A conversation with George Takei, Sharon Yamato, and Wayne Merrill Collins, attorney and son of Wayne M. Collins, moderated by Brian Niiya, followed the screening.
