Historic Japanese Prejudice & Racism Films

During World War II, the United States government produced a series of racist propaganda films with the purpose of increasing discrimination, prejudice and racism toward Japanese people, Japanese culture and Japanese Americans. These films were produced in a dark era of racial discrimination and racism in America, and frankly, the films are quite appalling. However, they are vital educational resources about WWII and the history of racism. We have collected these prejudiced propaganda films and digitized them with the intention of spreading these visual resources worldwide at a low cost, so anyone can learn about cultural diversity, racial and religious discrimination, national origin discrimination and racial prejudice. Now you, too, can watch these videos and learn how Japanese culture was viewed by fearful, racist American citizens, soldiers and war-hawk government interest groups. These films vilified the Japanese people while rationalizing the segregation of Japanese Americans into internment war camps in the Midwest during WWII. This collection includes invaluable video footage of these tragic camps and vintage United States government race propaganda films.
