George Takei's Allegiance (2016)

George Takei’s Allegiance: Directed by Lorenzo Thione. With Aaron Albano, Belinda Allyn, Marcus Choi, Katie Rose Clarke. Allegiance illuminates one of American history’s lesser known chapters as it tells the story of Sam Kimura, transported back nearly six decades to when his younger self and his sister Kei fought to stay connected to their heritage, their family and themselves after Japanese Americans were wrongfully imprisoned during World War II. An important story told with great resonance and intimacy, Allegiance explores the ties that bind us, the struggle to persevere and the overwhelming power of forgiveness and, most especially, love

“This topic is important for all Americans to be aware of. We interred our own citizens simply because of where they or their ancestors were born. Watching this play or movie (hopefully it will be on DVD some day!) bring the issue to life. Itu0026#39;s not a paragraph in a boring history book. Itu0026#39;s real, itu0026#39;s tangible. My 14-year-old cried. Please show this to your children.”
