AND THEN THEY CAME FOR US is a cautionary and inspiring tale for all societies. It chronicles the moral and human damage done after President Roosevelt signed an Executive Order ordering the forced incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans. Thousands of American citizens lost their homes, their businesses, and their families due to war hysteria and racism.

Featuring Japanese Americans who were incarcerated, rediscovered photos by Dorothea Lange, and the story of Fred Korematsu’s long journey to justice, the film brings history into the present, as it follows Japanese Americans speaking out against the current Muslim travel ban and other regressive immigration policies.
