Behind the making of THE LAST HARVEST, a story of a particular family, was always the awareness that thousands of farmers were losing their homes, their livelihoods, and being separated from the land. Add to this the personal story of the Ohamas who were, as Japanese Canadians, faced with internment during the Second World War. They escaped from British Columbia and made it to Alberta, and then faced the unfairness of life under the War Measures Act and eventually developed one of America's most successful potato producing farms, only in the final years to leave it all behind. THE LAST HARVEST is also the story of a community, Rainier, which became the Ohamas' friends and neighbours. <50mn>
