Educators will find this film rich with emotionally gripping accounts of the impact of war, fear, racism, and discrimination. Although the Japanese internment has largely faded from American consciousness, the emotional wounds of war and unjust imprisonment still reverberate through the Japanese-American community.
By watching this video, you will:
- Describe common experiences of Japanese-American children who were incarcerated in camps during World War II.
- Explain how the trauma of childhood camp experiences may still affect the lives of Japanese-Americans today.
- Apply culturally appropriate interventions to help adult survivors of childhood trauma heal and live their lives more fully in the present.
