American Peril: Faces of the Enemy depicts members of the Japanese American and Muslim American communities directly impacted by negative Japanese and Islamophobic propaganda. It reminds us all to be vigilant of the racial bias in our society’s media. No group should be vilified for the color of their skin, the shape of their eyes, or the religion they practice.
