Description: Please read & note: This is a Rights holding DVD created & produced by me and is not factory made or sealed. I strive to produce the best DVD's possible from the sometimes VERY old Public Domain material. Films that are public domain are unpreserved and not professionally remastered. I remaster all of my films myself to the best possible quality achievable. My DVDs are not the quality of todays Modern DVDs or Bluray discs. If you are looking for this kind of quality then these discs are not for you. Please note this when purchasing, but also know that all of the films are very watchable. All pictures are actual screen captures from the DVDs. To keep my prices as low as possible all my DVDs are delivered in plain paper DVD sleeves and the DVDs title will be labeled on the back of the DVD envelope. (See picture) All of my DVD's come with a menu for easy film selection. 　 Total runtime of this DVD is 62 minutes. Film 1: A Challenge to Democracy (1944) B&W Runtime 18 minutes This film short which shows the Japanese Detainment Camps weren't so bad, the narrator is full of double talk of what's happening. These are not detainment camps! They're 'relocation centers!', these aren't detainees, rather they are 'evacuees' (from what?). We see a sample family moving into their one room shack and sprucing it up with drapes, a little wood-work et al! After working in the fields, and facing some hard labor, you have the choice to go home. But only after what it seems to be about 20 pages of background checks. A shocking film, and an important historical artifact. Automatically Public Domain because it was made by the U.S. Military. Film 2: Japanese Relocation (1943) B&W Runtime 9 minutes Meanwhile, back in Propagandaville. This film, while not over the top as "A Challenge To Democracy" it does provide a more persuading argument about why it was done. Once again, the Japanese are all too pleased about this novel American ideas and off they go. They seem a bit too chipper about this, as this film purports that they were happily willing to give up their jobs, businesses, houses and way of life to be relocated. Automatically Public Domain because it was made by the U.S. Military. Film 3: Our Enemy: The Japanese (1945) B&W Runtime 19 minutes Interesting film which is narrated by a curious individual telling of how he spent 5 years in Japan and how he confesses that their thinking is '2000 years behind'. We see shot after shot of Japanese life, all of which it seems, is their preparation of war. Automatically Public Domain because it was made by the U.S. Military. Film 4: My Japan (1945) B&W Runtime 16 minutes Complex and disturbing anti-Japanese propaganda film produced to spur the sale of U.S. war bonds. Automatically Public Domain because it was made by the U.S. Military. I claim ownership and rights to this media. All the films on this DVD have been researched and are copyright free or the copyrights have expired due to non renewal.
