Enemy Alien

Examines the history of Japanese immigration to Canada, particularly to British Columbia, from the late 19th century when they were needed as cheap labour for mines and railway construction through to 1949 when they finally received the right to vote. The long story of frustration and injustice, mistrust and hate, and the struggle of Japanese-Canadians to gain acceptance, is focused to some degree on their treatment during World War II.

"This is about a people who dared to ask: "What are they going to do with us?" The Japanese-Canadians fought long and hard to be accepted as Canadians. It is important that the long story of frustration and injustice, mistrust and hate, and eventual triumph should be remembered. This film tells that story."@en
