Remembering Manzanar

Through the use of rare historic footage and photographs, and personal recollections of a dozen former incarcerees and others, Remembering Manzanar explores the experiences of more than 10,000 Japanese Americans who were incarcerated in a remote desert facility during World War II. Created as the "introductory film" at Manzanar National Historic Site, Remembering Manzanar gives viewers a sense of the place and its past, and a glimpse into a time when American citizens were exiled because of their ancestry.
