Based on interviews with the last remaining survivors of internment and declassified government documents and photographs, Prisoners and Patriots: The Untold Story of Japanese Internment in Santa Fe brings to life a lesson of history 60 years after the U.S. government imprisoned men considered to be the ‘worst of the worst’ after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Different from the relocation centers that housed 100,000 Japanese men, women and children during WWII, Santa Fe was run by the Department of Justice. Its inmates were mostly community leaders, and as the war continued, so-called ‘troublemakers’ from other camps. Who were these men and how did they live in their desert detention? James Hattori narrates this Neil Simon production brings this war time story to life. |
