Letters From Camp

Producer Frank Chi: These are the stakes for Muslims in the United States: Throughout the Republican presidential primary, multiple candidates called for “patrolling” Muslim neighborhoods or banning Muslims from entering the country. A Democratic mayor even used the incarceration of Japanese Americans to justify rejecting Syrian refugees. Online, and indeed even in comments on social media since my video was released, there are many who justify Japanese American incarceration, and call for the same to be done to the Muslim community. How we respond to the siren calls of fear is a test for every American.
