The film 9066 to 9/11: America’s Concentration Camps, Then...and Now? was an interesting film to watch. The similarities between the Japanese concentration camps of 1942 and the treatment of those of Arab descent during 9/11 are a surprisingly large number. The movie has a strong stance against racial profiling of any sort. Also, the details of both situations are portrayed with pictures and written word rather than with spoken word, so the visual images paint a strong picture in the mind of the viewer. To appeal to the less visual mind, the use of spoken word as well as the other aspects would be a better format. Spoken word, especially in a way that makes the horror more real would entice the auditory listeners to find an interest in the film.
