Seventy-five years ago, Executive Order 9066 paved the way to the profound violation of constitutional rights that resulted in the forced incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. Directed by Abby Ginzberg and Ken Schneider, And Then They Came for Us features Japanese-American actor George Takei and many others who were incarcerated, as well as newly rediscovered photographs of the late Dorothea Lange, a photojournalist best known for her Depression-era work. This film brings history into the present, retelling this difficult story and following Japanese American activists as they speak out against the Muslim registry and travel ban. Knowing our history is the first step to ensuring we do not repeat it. And Then They Came for Us is a cautionary and inspiring tale for these dark times. See more. 40 minutes.

Sponsors: The Central California District Council of the Japanese American Citizens League and the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno.
