Summary Beehive Stories is a project that tells the stories of everyday Utahans through short documentaries, one for each county in the state. This is a story of Millard County. In it, George Murakami, age 85, shares the unlikely story of how he came to live in Utah for most of his life, despite being relocated there against his will to the Topaz Interment Camp as a teenager from Berkeley. Set in Millard County's unforgiving desert terrain, his high school years were unusual (the camp had a track team!) and harsh, yet circumstances took an unexpected turn after the war and George would eventually forge his own path in a Salt Lake suburb, this time on his own terms.
