The documentary \;And Then They Came f or Us \;looks at the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II and its lasting effects\, told through the voices of survivors and their families. Using personal stories\, archival footage\, and historical background\, the film shows how fear\, racism\, and wartime hysteria led to widespread violations of civil liberties. It also explains why this his tory is still important today.

After the screening\, we invite you to join a conversation with director Abby Ginzberg and Satsuki Ina\, who is an author\, psychotherapist\, and activist. They will discuss the film& rsquo\;s themes\, share personal experiences related to the history\, and highlight the ongoing need to protect civil liberties for everyone.

Through shared reading and related events\, we reflect on history\ , foster dialogue\, and connect past injustices to present-day conversatio ns about civil liberties and belonging.
