Color silent amateur footage of activities at Heart Mountain concentration camp, Wyoming, filmed by Reverend Stanley T. Evans, who visited Rev. Donald Toriumi at Heart Mountain in 1945. Composed of home movie clips of the environment the Japanese Americans lived in during World War II in forced exclusion.

This segment (01:01) shows a truck passing through the camp gate as a sentry waves the truck in; the sentry, carrying a sidearm, at his guardhouse; a U.S. flag waving; barracks beneath the flagpole; camp buildings; a truck exiting through a camp gate; sentries walking through the camp; sentries mustering and drilling.
