Yosh Kuromiya was incarcerated during WWII at Heart Mountain, Wyoming. While imprisoned, he resisted the draft to protest the government's denial of his rights as a U.S. citizen, and was indicted in 1944 for draft evasion.

This clip is an excerpt from an interview conducted by filmmaker Frank Abe for his 2000 documentary, Conscience and the Constitution, about the WWII resisters of conscience at the Heart Mountain concentration camp.
