Description
Feature Film: Alternative Facts sheds light on the people and politics that influenced the signing of the infamous Executive Order 9066, which authorized the mass incarceration of nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans. The film will expose the lies used to justify the decision and the cover-up that went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. ALTERNATIVE FACTS will also examine the parallels to the current climate of fear, attitudes towards immigrant communities, and similar attempts to abuse the powers of the government.
Feature Short: Moon and the Night is ultimately a coming-of-age story about a teenage girl, MAHINA, who must accept the fact that her father, DAVID, an ex-con, will never truly be the dad she needs.
