Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. government stripped more than 110,000 Japanese-Americans of their civil rights and forced them into fenced internment camps euphemistically called relocation centers. This program is a sympathetic first-person portrait of the families who fell victim to public and political hysteria during World War II and the extraordinary military unit that rose from this turmoil: the Army’s highly decorated 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which reflected great honor upon all Japanese-Americans as its soldiers fought their way across the battlefields of North Africa and Europe with exemplary courage and skill. A Discovery Channel Production. (34 minutes)
