Expect little and you shall be rewarded...
What's not to like about George Takei!!! He is a gentleman - through and through.
Emotional, light-hearted, charming and an enlightening look into a dark period of American history...
Kroot's film is an affectionate delight...it will leave you with a smile spread across your face.
Oh and William Shatner does himself no favours!
