Documentary by Elizabeth Gray about the fight by Japanese Canadians for an apology and compensation for their interment in the Second World War. Interviewees include Art Miki, president of the National Association of Japanese Canadians, June Takahashi and retired Anglican minister [Cyril Powells]. June Takahashi recalls that the she and other Japanese Canadians faced so much discrimination when they were growing up that they did not think that the way they were treated during the Second World War was that unusual. There is also a clip of Pierre Elliott Trudeau on June 29, 1984, his last day in the House of Commons, questioning why there should be an apology from the government rather than an expression of regret. Trudeau said that it was the purpose of the government to be just in its time, not to rewrite history. Columnist Doug Fisher talks about his experiences serving with the Canadian Army on the West Coast after Pearl Harbor. He agrees with Pierre Trudeau’s stance on the apology and recalls the fear people felt on the West Coast. <18mn 21s>
