Show detail Hide detail

One of a series of television programs about ethnicity in Canada. The subject of this program is the internment of Japanese Canadians by the Canadian government during the Second World War. Four decades after World War II, Japanese Canadians are still distraught over the effects of being forced into internment camps. The new generation of Japanese Canadians are also affected. This event has been ignored in history texts and the federal government has only recently established a redress committee to recognize this issue and to address the issue of compensation. The interviewees are: Til Hanson, a non-Japanese Canadian; Shin Imai, a civil liberties lawyer; and lawyer Maryka Omatsu. Hanson recalls the level of bigotry among Canadians then and the high degree of censorship during the war about the treatment of the Japanese Canadians. Japanese Canadians now want an apology and compensation but the federal government is resistant to the idea. Imai and Omatsu talk about the feelings of the younger generation of Japanese Canadians, the desire for redress and the signifance of the redress campaign as an issue relevant to Canadian civil liberties as a whole. The program includes still photographs of people leaving for the internment camps and people living in the camps, set to the song New Denver by Terry Watada.
