It's very short, mainly the postcards. If the ones shared in this group were the only ones, it would be disgusting enough. What kind of people are we in the USA to continue to try and turn a blind eye to the past? It haunts us today because of the deniers. The idea that no one cared, and still hasn't cared enough to acknowledge that even the ones that supposedly committed crimes were denied due process. Let alone the fact that so many did nothing or were falsely accused. As my grandmother used to say. Too shame to shame. Just disgusting at the basest level.

Horrible, shocking, disgusting and unbelievable! I felt sick to my stomach all the way through it. It was very painful to think this wasn't some sick work of fiction...The act in itself, the photographers that profited on it and all the people who sent the postcards...It's just horrifying, to say the least. I've never heard of such horror before...probably because I'm not from the USA, but I would assume many Americans wouldn't know about it as well. I'm glad it's only 15 minutes long, as I believe I wouldn't be able to take another second of it. That being said, it's very important that this documentary exists!

Stunning. Disgusting. Despicable. Watching this in disbelief of how cruel some human beings can be to others reminds me just how far we have to go in this world. I feel like this needs to be mandatory viewing for everyone in this country, man, woman, black, white, immigrant, non-immigrant. There is no way we can build our society up until we look back at the skeletons in the closet and these 15 minutes have plenty of skeletons. This film makes me ashamed to be human.
