DESCRIPTION

Keige Kaku was a U.S.-born citizen who served in the U.S. Army. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, he was abruptly discharged and sent to Poston. Outraged by the betrayal, Keige refused to answer the infamous “loyalty questionnaire” and was sent to Tule Lake. He ultimately renounced his citizenship and was deported to Japan, where Henry was born. The film follows Henry as he makes a pilgrimage to Tule Lake and contemplates the question: what does it mean to be a “loyal” American?
