'Come See the Paradise'

Tonight I watched a very provocative film about World War II and the civil rights that were taken away from the Japanese Americans. It was shameful and a great mistake. The movie is 'Come See the Paradise' and was filmed in 1990 with Dennis Quaid and supposedly is very factual as to events and places, etc.
The movie had a sweet love story woven throughout the fact based movie but the treatment of the Japapanese Americans was really sickening and sad to watch. It would not make you proud to be an American.
I was so young in WWII I have really never known many of the horrible facts of events before, during, and after the war and am always anxious to learn more.
