Films at the National Archives in October Washington, DC . . . In October the National Archives and Records Administration celebrates John Glenn s return to space with a public programs series focusing on space exploration that includes two film screenings. Other film topics are Japanese-American relocation during World War II and the Russian Revolution.
All programs are free and open to the public.
Free parking is available at the National Archives at College Park. The theater at the downtown National Archives Building is equipped with a system that allows the hearing-impaired to use a set of headphones, or neck loop and a small receiver, to enhance the volume of the public address system. Visitors may request these devices in the projection booth. This selection of short films from the motion picture holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration document the relocation. Included are Japanese Relocation and Challenge to Democracy , both released in 1943.
