In honor of this day of remembrance, I thought that I would share a visual development piece for my short film Gaman. On Feb 19, 1942 Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, officially starting the internment of Japanese Americans. This was the culmination of decades of Anti-Asian sentiment and racism in the US, and saw over 100,000 Issei, Nissei, and Sansei have their rights and property stripped from them before being forced into concentration camps. Let us have this day to reflect on this horrendous act, and how the same sentiments that created internment manifest today in the US and around the world. -- source link
