Jennifer M. Kroot's film To Be Takei looks at the amazing life and career of one George Takei. It's a fun and emotional that explores this pop culture icon and activist. At the core of this film, it's about his relationship with his family and husband Brad. George and Brad have a very sweet and joyful relationship that will put a smile on your face and laugh out loud, too. By far the most integrating aspect of this film is Takei's childhood and how Pearl Harbor changed his life and the relationship with his parents. After Pearl Harbor George and his family, and many other Japanese-American West Coast citizens on the West Coast were forced out of their homes by the government and sent to a War Relocation Camp or internment. Very emotional, touching and even horrifying to see how the Americans treated their Japanese-American citizens. In all, a must watch film.
