America's concentration camps revisited

Concentration camps? in the USA? Yes, we did have them. Oh, they went by the euphemism of internment camps or relocation centers, but they were concentration camps. I know that they were not like the Holocaust or the Killing Fields. Those were more appropriately called death camps. This movie deals with one of the camps. The story follows the book by Jean Wakatsuki Houston quite closely. It is a depressing story about a depressing subject, but one that needs to be told, nevertheless, just in case we Americans ever get too smug about other countries having institutions where political prisoners are interned...
