When the economy goes into the toilet, World
War Three turns into an Economic War with Japan. All Japanese
products, investments and people are banned. The propaganda /
advertising machine gets cranked up and old prejudices resurface against
Americans of Japanese ancestry and become government policy.
Executive Order 9066 is re-instated and all Japanese Americans are ordered
to abandon their jobs, their homes, their schools and their country or
report to the resurrected WWII internment camps, such as Manzanar, where
an ambitious camp commandant awaits with her plans for a convenient
solution to the Japanese problem.
21st Century Manzanar is a dark portrait of America gone wrong, balancing serio-comic social observations with an engrossing story of survival that is dramatic, humorous and hopeful.
