00:00All wars are serious, you know what I mean, Yoshi.
00:04As far as I'm concerned, that war is far away from our lives in California farm country.
00:19The history that we're typically given in a classroom in America is not our history.
00:30We didn't realize we were going to be interned into a concentration camp.
00:37Mr. Yoshikubo, I'm Agent Wilson. On behalf of the Department of Defense, I'm here to place you under arrest.
00:44I firmly believe that a citizen's duty should properly be balanced with his rights.
00:49An internment camp is not the same as a penitentiary.
00:54We have to have our rights restored.
00:56Otherwise, you know, you're asking us as second-class citizens or third-class citizens
01:01to risk our lives while you're keeping our families in prison.
