Japanese-American internment prisoners defy the guards of their camps to fish for trout in the Eastern Sierra.

Lou Lumenick

New York Post

"The Manzanar Fishing Club'' has enough interesting footage for perhaps a 15-minute segment of a TV news magazine.

Rated: 2/4

New York Times

All this is welcome; all this is too little. The Zen appeal of a river running through it is at best postcard-pretty, and not much deeper.

Rated: 2.5/5

Village Voice

The historical road less traveled-shot in re-enactments that are obviously familiar with the terrain-is beguiling enough.

Hollywood & Fine

Some of the stories of ingenuity - whether in creating fishing equipment out of scavenged materials or hiding their activities from authorities - are amusing or moving.
