During the Japanese
American internment of World War II, a woman held at the Tule Lake segregation
camp with her family leaves her barracks one winter night...
In the wake of the
attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, over 110,000 Americans of Japanese
ancestry were, by government order, forcibly relocated to internment camps
across the country. Surrounded by barbed
wire and guard towers, the Tule Lake “segregation center” in northern
California was the largest of such camps and did not close until after the
war.
Set in the winter of
1943 after martial law was imposed on the camp, Tule Lake is an animated short film about perseverance, based on
the true story of one internee and her actions one night.
