It was the second major network documentary on the wartime removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans after\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/The_Nisei:_The_Pride_and_the_Shame_(film)/\" title=\"The Nisei: The Pride and the Shame (film)\">\n The Nisei: The Pride and the Shame\n </a>\n ,\n </i>\n which aired on CBS in 1965.\n </p>\n <p>\n <i>\n Guilty by Reason of Race\n </i>\n was produced and reported by veteran producer Robert Northshield and incorporated historic footage and photographs with contemporary interviews with Japanese Americans as well as those who advocated for incarceration at the time to tell the story of Japanese American removal from the West Coast and their subsequent confinement in concentration camps. Several former inmates are filmed visiting the places where they had been incarcerated, including Amy Uno Ishii, J. H. Takeda, and Betty Kozasa visiting\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Santa_Anita_(detention_facility)/\" title=\"Santa Anita (detention facility)\">\n Santa Anita\n </a>\n and activist\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Edison_Uno/\" title=\"Edison Uno\">\n Edison Uno\n </a>\n (who was an adviser to the film's producers) at\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Amache_(Granada)/\" title=\"Amache (Granada)\">\n Amache\n </a>\n . It is also notable for including an interview in Tokyo with renunciant Masao Amachi, who recalled that he had \"lost confidence\" in the U.S. and felt that no matter who won the war, that he \"would always be looked at as a Jap.\" The documentary also includes footage from a\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Camp_pilgrimages/\" title=\"Camp pilgrimages\">\n Manzanar Pilgrimage\n </a>\n and from the contemporaneous exhibitions,\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/Executive_Order_9066_(exhibition)/\" title=\"Executive Order 9066 (exhibition)\">\n Executive Order 9066\n </a>\n </i>\n and\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/Months_of_Waiting,_1942-1945_(exhibition)/\" title=\"Months of Waiting, 1942-1945 (exhibition)\">\n Months of Waiting, 1942–1945\n </a>\n .\n </i>\n The documentary ends with interviews noting the impact of incarceration and raising the question of whether it can happen again; it concludes that \"there is no reason why it couldn't.\"\n </p>\n <p>\n Interviews in order of appearance\n </p>\n <table class=\"wikitable\">\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <th>\n Interviewee\n </th>\n <th>\n Description\n </th>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td>\n Miyuki Hirano\n </td>\n <td>\n former inmate; girl with luggage tag in iconic\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Dorothea_Lange/\" title=\"Dorothea Lange\">\n Dorothea Lange\n </a>\n photograph\n </td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td>\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Tom_C._Clark/\" title=\"Tom C.

On the other hand, those who complimented the program chose to take the time to write down—and sign—their comments.\"\n <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-1\">\n <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-1\">\n [1]\n </a>\n </sup>\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Brian_Niiya/\" title=\"Brian Niiya\">\n Brian Niiya\n </a>\n , Densho\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Niiya, Brian\n </div>\n <div id=\"RelatedArticlesDisplay\">\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Related_Articles\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Related_Articles\">\n Related Articles\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p class=\"mw-empty-elt\">\n </p>\n <div id=\"RelatedArticlesSectionDisplay\">\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"\">\n <h3>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"\">\n </span>\n </h3>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p class=\"mw-empty-elt\">\n </p>\n <ul>\n <li>\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Dramatic_films/videos_on_incarceration/\" title=\"Dramatic films/videos on incarceration\">\n Dramatic films/videos on incarceration\n </a>\n </li>\n </ul>\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"alert alert-success published\">\n <p>\n This page is complete and will be published to the production Encyclopedia.\n </p>\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Footnotes\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Footnotes\">\n Footnotes\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <div class=\"reflist\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n <div class=\"mw-references-wrap\">\n <ol class=\"references\">\n <li id=\"cite_note-1\">\n <span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\">\n <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_ref-1\">\n ↑\n </a>\n </span>\n <span class=\"reference-text\">\n Ellen Endo, \"Open End-O: Who Is Lloyd Cosgrove,\"\n <i>\n Rafu Shimpo\n </i>\n , Sept, 23, 1972, 1.\n </span>\n </li>\n </ol>\n </div>\n </div>\n <!-- \nNewPP limit report\nCached time: 20240418160713\nCache expiry: 86400\nDynamic content: false\nComplications: []\nCPU time usage: 0.022 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.029 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 449/1000000\nPost‐expand include size: 10056/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 3078/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 6/40\nExpensive parser function count: 0/100\nUnstrip recursion depth: 0/20\nUnstrip post‐expand size: 369/5000000 bytes\nExtLoops count: 0\n-->\n <!--\nTransclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template)\n100.00% 20.222 1 -total\n 13.82% 2.794 1 Template:RelatedArticles\n 12.39% 2.506 1 Template:Databox-Films\n 11.77% 2.379 1 Template:RGDatabox-Core\n 11.01% 2.226 1 Template:Reflist\n 6.93% 1.402 2 Template:Published\n 6.91% 1.397 1 Template:RelatedArticlesSection\n 6.82% 1.379 1 Template:AuthorByline\n-->\n <!-- Saved in parser cache with key encycmw:pcache:idhash:1474-0!canonical and timestamp 20240418160713 and revision id 36012\n -->\n </div>\n </div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"toplink\">\n <a href=\"#top\">\n <i class=\"icon-chevron-up\">\n </i>\n Top\n </a>\n</div>", "categories": [ "http://encyclopedia.densho.org/api/0.1/categories/Chroniclers/" ], "sources": [], "coordinates": {}, "authors": [ "http://encyclopedia.densho.org/api/0.1/authors/Brian%20Niiya/" ], "ddr_topic_terms": [], "prev_page": "http://encyclopedia.densho.org/api/0.1/articles/Guayule%20project/", "next_page": "http://encyclopedia.densho.org/api/0.1/articles/Guntaro%20Kubota/" }{ "url_title": "Guilty by Reason of Race (film)", "title_sort": "guiltybyreasonofracefilm", "links": { "json": "
