\nIn 1942, during the Second World War, Canada’s government forced 22,000 Japanese Canadians from their homes in British Columbia, taking their businesses, their property and their dignity.\u00a0While many were sent to internment camps, another option allowed Japanese Canadian families to stay together by relocating to sugar beet farms in rural Manitoba. After the wartime restrictions were lifted in the late 1940s, most of those relocated made the move from rural Manitoba to the capital city of Winnipeg, trying their best to forget this humiliating period in their lives.<\/p>\n

By the 1970s\u00a0younger Japanese Canadians, most of whom were sheltered from the reasons behind the move to Manitoba, began learning the truth of their family history.\u00a0Through interviews and archival photos and footage,\u00a0Facing Injustice<\/em>tells the personal stories behind this little-known period of Canadian history, and shows how one community reconciled the past\u00a0and organized a national redress movement.<\/p>\n
