After Pearl Harbor, Keige Kaku was discharged from the U.S. Army, imprisoned in a Japanese concentration camp, or so-called “internment camp”, and deported. Eighty years later, Keige’s son Henry retraces his father’s footsteps to confront the question: What does it mean to be a Loyal American?

Loyal American is a short film by the National Geographic Society Impact Story Lab and photographer and National Geographic Explorer Haruka Sakaguchi.
