Alternative Facts: The Lies of Executive Order 9066

As a long-time community activist and descendant of two former World War ll incarcerees, I am proud to share this largely untold aspect of the Japanese American incarceration story. While there have been many outstanding films on the WWll incarceration of Japanese Americans, Alternative Facts explores forgotten chapters of this tragic tale that will inform, shock, and inspire audiences.

Alternative Facts chronicles the dark, twisted plot of conspiracy, deceit, and one of the most nefarious cover-ups in American history. While the WWll incarceration of Japanese Americans has been acknowledged as a "mistake," this film challenges the historical narrative and exposes it as a scandal of epic proportions.

My goal for Alternative Facts is to reveal the true events and influences behind the WWll incarceration of Japanese Americans to encourage a truly informed public debate about how this country treats immigrant and religious groups today. This film dispels the myths and misconceptions about what took place during WWll and draws a straight line to the parallels of today.

Through the vital lessons of the Japanese American incarceration story, I hope to promote healthy dialogue about race, religion, and the importance of speaking out when our democracy falters.
