Dan Damon explores the legacy of Presidential Executive Order 9066, when 120,000 Japanese-Americans, many of them US-born citizens, were forcibly removed to internment camps during World War Two. He speaks to Satsuki Ina, who was born in Tule Lake War Relocation Center, California in 1944, and to Paul Kitagaki Jr, whose discovery of a cache of photos of camp internees, led him on a decade-long quest to tell their stories.
