 USTICE is a short dramatic film about Ralph Lazo\, a young Latino American
  teenager from East Los Angeles who voluntarily went to Manzanar concentra
 tion camp. Nisei friends remember him as one who stood faithfully with his
  Japanese American friends in their most difficult time. The 30-minute fil
 m STAND UP FOR JUSTICE powerfully addresses the violations of civil libert
 ies that Japanese Americans faced during World War II and reveals how one 
 person&rsquo\;s actions earned the undying gratitude of a community.&nbsp\
