The preconception that All Japanese Cannot Be Trusted So Lets Move Them Away is explored here obviously.. And, while not over the top as "A Challenge To Democracy" it does provide a more persuading arguement about WHY it was done (although I don't agree with it in the slightest). Once again, the Japanese are all too pleased about this novel American ideas and off they go. They seem a bit TOO chipper about this, as this film purports that they were happily willing to give up their jobs, businesses, houses and way of life to be relocated. Suuuuuure.
