Through personal narrative, and the stunning photography of Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams, And Then They Came for Us details the unjust registration and incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans in US camps during WWII. Featuring actor George Takei, the documentary tells the harrowing tale of one of the worst violations of constitutional rights in American history, offering a cautionary tale for today's Muslim travel ban, which relies on similar sensationalism and uncorroborated claims of threats to national security.
