Join us to enjoy a special screening of the recently completed documentary film “Gambatte Kimashita: Japanese Flower Growers of the Salinas Valley.” The documentary contains oral histories of the community of Japanese immigrants who arrived after WWII and built a successful flower growing industry in the Salinas Valley.
