Thursday, Feb. 19

February 19 marks the 84th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, a moment that changed the lives of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. This documentary uncovers the misinformation and political manipulation that led to mass incarceration and draws critical connections to challenges we continue to face today.
