I saw Allegiance the first time it was released to theatres. Such a powerful movie. There was humor, beautiful songs, and I cried more than a few tears. Allegiance portrays so many aspects of what happened to Japanese-Americans during World War II that we never learned about in school. It should become a unit of study in American History in every school. I'm extremely glad George decided to bring Allegiance to life. Society must learns from horrible actions like these or they will happen again in subsequent generations.

Plot summary
Allegiance illuminates one of American history's lesser known chapters as it tells the story of Sam Kimura, transported back nearly six decades to when his younger self and his sister Kei fought to stay connected to their heritage, their family and themselves after Japanese Americans were wrongfully imprisoned during World War II. An important story told with great resonance and intimacy, Allegiance explores the ties that bind us, the struggle to persevere and the overwhelming power of forgiveness and, most especially, love

Yet another liberal progressive doco
Nice story but it was exploited for liberal progressive agenda. Art house at its best or worst - depending how you think or feel.

Amazing, human portrayal
When I first heard of setting the story of Japanese Internment Camps as a musical, I was skeptical. I was wrong. This is one of the most moving, loving, fulfilling musicals I have ever seen. I was moved to tears more than once because the human story is presented here. I am thrilled to be a witness to the success of Allegiance as it moved from conception to fruition. Thank you so much, George Takei, for your courage, your advocacy, and your life.
