“Resistance at Tule Lake” (2017, 80 min.) by Konrad Aderer. The long-suppressed story of 12,000 Japanese Americans who dared to resist the U.S. government’s program of mass incarceration during WWII.
The wartime incarceration was met with varied responses, from super patriotism to resistance. These films take a look at those who protested during their incarceration in the face of community ostracism, so-called “trouble-makers” who defied the narrative that Japanese Americans were docile.
