A documentary film probes the impact that a World War II Japanese American internment camp had on a community in southeast Arkansas, and on later generations. "Relocation, Arkansas: Aftermath of Incarceration" is being shown Friday at 3 p.m. at the Ron Robinson Theater in Little Rock.

Vivienne Schiffer, the film's director and producer, will be speaking before the screening, then taking questions from the audience afterward. She spoke with KUAR about the personal connections that led her to make the documentary. Schiffer also talked about her outrage that federal officials recently considered housing migrant children separated from their parents in the same area.

You can hear the interview above or watch the trailer for the film below.

The screening is being presented in partnership with the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies and the Central Arkansas Library System. It will be followed at 5 p.m. by the opening of the Butler Center exhibit " Matter of Mind and Heart." It features art created by those held at the Rohwer and Jerome relocation centers in Arkansas focusing on Japanese American identity.

The Jerome War Relocation Center had was divided into 50 blocks and were surrounded by barbed wire fences with a patrol road and 7 watchtowers. As of January 1943, the camp had a population of 7,932 people, and the following month Jerome reached its peak at nearly 8,500. The Issei, or first-generation, immigrant parents and grandparents had been prohibited by US law from obtaining citizenship, along with other East Asians, were officially referred to as "aliens". Kimura, who was born in Hawai'i in 1919 and attended high school in Japan from 1932 to 1935 before returning to the U.S. territory, was described by a Naval Intelligence informant as a "very dangerous type of individual." He said that he was loyal to Japan before Pearl Harbor, and that his loyalty to Japan had increased after Pearl Harbor. He asserted that he would not fight in the U.S. Army under any conditions, but would readily fight in the Japanese Army against the United States. He organized group meetings at Jerome with other pro-Japanese inmates. The committee refused to register because they were loyal to Japan. 781 evacuees in the group registered by writing across the face of the registration form that they wanted to be repatriated or expatriated to Japan.
