Amache: An American Injustice tells the story of the unjust incarceration of 120,000 innocent Japanese Americans during WW2 after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. During its three years of operation, over 10,000 innocent people were housed behind its barbed wire fence. With a peak population of 7,500 incarcerees, Amache became the 10th largest city in Colorado. For years, archeologists and survivors have been digging into the past and discovering how the community built a life behind barbed wire and created beauty in the desolation of the desert. When the war ended, the people of Amache were free to go, but they re-entered an America filled with prejudice and hate against the Japanese. Most had lost everything and they returned to freedom, now impoverished and homeless, having to build their lives anew. For many of the elders, their spirits were broken. It is a trauma that has persisted through generations and one which impacts the Japanese American community to this day.
