FILM 1846: WHITE MAN'S BURDEN



FILM 1846: WHITE MAN'S BURDEN

TRIVIA: John Travolta took the role at Quentin Tarantino's urging.

Desmond Nakano, who is Japanese-American, created the film in part because of how we felt that to both American whites and blacks, he was "them". He also tapped into the disorienting feeling he felt when he visited Japan, saying that "for so long I had been different, it felt wrong to be the same."
