Time Of Fear
Episode 1 of 1

During World War II, more than 110,000 Japanese-Americans were forced into relocation camps across the United States. This film traces the lives of the 16,000 men, women and children who were sent to two camps in southeast Arkansas, which was one of the poorest and most racially segregated places in America at that time. Through interviews with the Japanese internees and the local citizens, the program explores how the influx of outsiders overwhelmed and exposed racial tensions within the tiny, southern communities.
