'Aleut Story," is the horrific story of Aleut forced into internment camps during WWII, where they died of hunger and disease, and then were abandoned and left to starve. The film is featured today on Vision Maker Media's free online film festival.

Aleut Story reveals the ever-present death in these camps, where disease was rampant, from boils and tuberculosis. Aleut were placed in damp and rotting buildings for years, with little food or medicine.

Aleut men were forced into slave labor as seal hunters. The United States  government threatened them, and told them that they would never be able to return to their homes if they did not work in this forced labor.

It is an untold story which the United States government silenced for years.

In 1942, as World War II invaded Alaska, Aleut Americans were taken from their homes and removed to abysmal government camps 1,500 miles away. Death was ever-present in the camps. An estimated 10 percent of the men, women and children sent to the camps would die there—a death rate comparable to that suffered by Americans in foreign prisoner of war camps. As the Aleuts prayed for deliverance, "friendly forces" looted their homes and churches in the Aleutian and Pribilof islands.
