The "Documentaries that Include the Incarceration" category include films whose primary focus is on another topic, but that includes a significant mention of the wartime incarceration in telling its story. The "Japanese American Military Service during World War II" category includes any film primarily focused on that topic, including those that make little or no mention of the concentration camps and biographical films that focus on military service more than on the incarceration. The "How We Remember the Incarceration" category is a catch-all for films that explore the after-effects of incarceration in some way and includes films that draw comparisons to the aftermath of 9/11, films on the redress movement, and films on camp pilgrimages, among other subtopics. Biographical films in which the incarceration is mentioned but is not a central focus, are included in the "Documentaries that Include the Incarceration" category. The "Biographical Films on Former Inmates (or Families) or Other Key Figures in Incarceration" category includes films on individuals or families that either focus primarily on the World War II years and their after-effects or are on people who are best known for their wartime activities. The first three categories below are self-explanatory. In many cases, a link leads to a separate article on each film that includes more detailed information. The list includes films that were made available to the general public, whether through being aired on television, made available on video cassettes or DVDs, or released online. The following is an attempt at a comprehensive listing of documentary films/videos that include a significant treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II, broken up into several broad categories.
