Summary Based on the life of George Takei, Allegiance explores one family's journey during the Japanese internment camps during World War II. Sammy and Kei Kimura are the Japanese-American children of Tatsuo Kimura, a domineering father and first generation Japanese-American immigrant (or Issei). The family struggles with their opposing views of America when anti-Japanese sentiments begin to sweep across the country after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. While Sammy wants to join the army to prove his American loyalty, Kei protests against the unfair treatment of the Japanese people and demands freedom for her people. As their family is torn apart in the internment camps, Sammy and Kei fight in their own ways for freedom and acceptance for themselves and for their culture. Allegiance features a beautiful score by Jay Kuo and highlights the lesser known struggles of Japanese-Americans during World War II
