Japanese Female POWs Couldn’t Believe America Let Them Watch Movies in Camps
During World War II, captured Japanese female POWs were prepared for harsh conditions in U.S. prison camps. Propaganda in Japan had told them to expect cruelty, hunger, and even death. Instead, they were shocked to find humane treatment — with food, medical care, and even the chance to watch movies inside POW camps.
In camps across America, Japanese women prisoners saw films, listened to music, and experienced a level of freedom and culture that contrasted sharply with wartime life in Japan. For women who had endured rationing, fear, and bombings, sitting in a hall and watching an American movie was almost unimaginable.
These experiences broke the illusions created by wartime propaganda and revealed the abundance and confidence of the U.S. home front. For many of these women, the memory of seeing films in captivity remained one of the most surprising and unforgettable moments of their lives.
This video tells the story of Japanese female POWs in America, why they were stunned by movie screenings in camps, and how these moments revealed the cultural and human contrasts of the Pacific War.
