Eye-opening history lesson on the internment of Japanese Americans in concentration camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Told from the perspective of several survivors, who are suing the government for that massive mistake. Will make you think differently about Franklin Delano Roosevelt. However, the film tends to be too clinical and lacks the necessary emotional punch to make it more effective.  Ambient soundtrack by Harold Budd, Brian Eno, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius.
