"The Constitution and the Camps..." video by Matthew Shimura (C-Span.org)

[W. Branstetter]

This 8-minute video was the grand prize winner in the student documentary contest at C-Span.org.  Matthew Shimura uses old film footage, on-site memorial, and both family history and interviews to lay out his video.  Excellent video and I recommend it for students as well.

 

"Matthew Shimura's video, The Constitution and the Camps: Due Process and the Japanese-American Internment, was the grand prize winner in C-SPAN Classroom's StudentCam documentary contest. He is a ninth grader at Punahou School in Honolulu.

The local cable company was Time Warner.

C-SPAN Classroom's StudentCam video documentary contest was a national competition in which middle and high school students produced a documentary focusing on the significance of any provision of the U.S. Constitution."
