Torrent description

In 1942, Fred Korematsu was an average 23-year-old California native working as a shipyard welder. But when he refused to obey Executive Order 9006, which sent 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry into internment camps, he became something extraordinary--a civil rights champion. Award-winning director Eric Paul Fournier follows Korematsu’s story from the moment he first resisted confinement to the hard-won victory he finally achieved 39 years later, with the help of a new generation of Japanese-American activists seeking vindication and the assurance that such a terrible injustice would never occur again.


Broadcast during the 2001 season of P.O.V., Eric Paul Fournier's OF CIVIL WRONGS AND RIGHTS won Emmys at the 23rd Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards: Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft — Direction and Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft — Editing.
