Film Looks at N.M. WWII Internment Camps

From kob.com -Nearly 70 years ago, thousands of Japanese-Americans were held at internment camps in New Mexico. It’s an unfamiliar story for many in the state. That’s why filmmaker and former KOB Eyewitness News 4 reporter Neil Simon made “Prisoners and Patriots.” Simon interviewed families and Japanese Americans who were held at New Mexico internment camps during World War II.  Simons said it took him almost five years to make the film. "There was nothing,” he said. “There was no video, there were very few pictures and despite there being so much literature about the Japanese-American internments, there was very little about the Department of Justice run camps like Santa Fe."  More News New Mexico
