More than 120,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned behind barbed wire
during World War II...
...over
half were children.
The Children of the Camps documentary captures the experiences of six Americans of Japanese ancestry who were confined as innocent children to prison camps by the U.S. government during World War II.
