Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States government issued Executive Order 9066, which authorized the forced removal and incarceration of over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, the majority of whom were American citizens. This documentary explores the profound impact of this dark chapter in American history, focusing on the personal stories of those who were uprooted from their homes, businesses, and communities, and forced into internment camps. Through interviews and archival footage, the film examines the climate of fear, prejudice, and anti-Japanese sentiment that led to this mass incarceration, and the enduring legacy of this injustice on the Japanese American community.
