An Alien Place - A Documentary Description:
An Alien Place: The Fort Missoula Detention Camp 1941-1944 - is a documentary that seeks to shed light on the imprisonment of over 2000 Italian and Japanese men held at Fort Missoula during the WWII Internment era.

During World War II, Fort Missoula was turned over to the Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service and established as an Alien Detention Camp (ADC). Between 1941 and 1944, the ADC held 1,000 Japanese resident aliens, 1,200 nonmilitary Italian men, 23 German resident aliens, and 123 Latin and South American Japanese.

The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula has produced a documentary about this part of Montana's history and a showing of this amazing film will be held at the Roxy Theater on October 11th at 4:00pm.

Tickets are $5.00 each and kids under 14 get in free! All proceeds go to the Friends of the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula and fund Museum exhibits, educational programs, and building restoration.
