Enough

ENOUGH intertwines the journeys of two determined young women, separated by time but united by purpose: Ashley, a bi-racial student frustrated by the societal controversies and erasure of racial justice efforts in the present day, and Erika, a Japanese American teenager in 1981 whose father, Brian Takakura (played by Tee), a reserved and reluctant attorney, is drawn into a landmark reparations hearing for WWII incarceration survivors.

As Ashley discovers Erika’s story in the archives of her school library, she is pulled into a forgotten past—where the Japanese American community, fractured by differing strategies and scars, comes together in a last push for redress. With pressure mounting from younger activists, traditional community leaders, and his own daughter, Brian must decide whether to speak from legal logic or personal truth. What follows is a powerful reckoning: revealing the lingering trauma of incarceration, the generational cost of silence, and the courage it takes to break it.
