This propaganda film produced by the U.S. government in 1943 explains the reasoning behind the relocation of Japanese Americans during World War II. It also tries to put a positive spin on the internment camps created for these displaced communities. For photographs of the internment of Japanese Americans, see Alan Taylor's World War II retrospective.
