Unfinished Business background

Unfinished Business

Three young men, including attorney Min Yasui and Quaker student Gordon Hirabayashi, courageously defied the forced relocation and internment of over 110,000 Japanese Americans, many U.S. citizens, after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 in 1942.

In 1942, Executive Order 9066 led to the internment of over 110,000 Japanese Americans, including US citizens, in camps. Three men, Min Yasui, Gordon Hirabayashi, and Fred Korematsu, defied these laws and were jailed. Despite the US Supreme Court upholding their convictions, they later sought to have their sentences overturned. This documentary shares their stories, shattering 40 years of silence and shame, and leaves the court proceedings unresolved.
