The Film

Over 110,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated in ten camps from 1942 to 1945, in the largest mass imprisonment of citizens in U.S. history. This feature documentary tells the long-suppressed story of the “No-No’s” – 12,000 incarcerees who defied the government. Branded as “disloyals” they were re-imprisoned in the newly militarized Tule Lake Segregation Center.

“Resistance at Tule Lake is a potent piece of history at a time when the United States is once again feeling less than hospitable.”
