During World War II, over 120,000 men, women, and children of Japanese descent were incarcerated by the United States government. While the country was also at war with Italy and Germany, only Japanese Americans were targeted for mass removal. In Something Strong Within, illustrious filmmaker Robert A. Nakamura assembles rarely seen home movies and clandestine footage from individuals living inside the internment camps to expose the experiences of day-to-day life under the weight of forced confinement. Alongside the footage, the film incorporates written quotations from those who suffered this harsh existence. Their powerful reflections, documented as text onscreen, underscore both their extraordinary hardships and unwavering resilience. Nakamura’s award-winning film was created for the Japanese American National Museum’s exhibition America’s Concentration Camps: Remembering the Japanese American Experience and features footage from Amache, Colo.; Heart Mountain, Wyo.; Jerome, Ark.; Rohwer, Ariz.; Topaz, Utah; Tule Lake, Calif.; and Minidoka, Idaho.
