In February of 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt signed an order that would eventually uproot approximately 120,000 people of Japanese descent - nearly two-thirds of them American-born, from the western states of the US, incarcerating them until the end of World War II. Deemed a military threat, government soldiers hauled these families from thriving farms and businesses to 10 hurriedly built internment camps in remote locations. The Civil Liberties Act of 1988 gave the internees $1.2 billion in compensation for this chapter of their lives that could never be reclaimed, but for 40 years the memories of the camps remained largely buried. Two sisters, including the director of the film, both interned as children, explore the events, meaning and lingering effects of this dark chapter in US history.
