How AMC's 'The Terror: Infamy' blends a horrific real-life event — the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II — with elements of horror storytelling
, those kinds of movies, as an analogue for the terror of the historical experience so you really feel, using that horror, you really feel the horror of what these people are going through.
And so in the case of our characters, they stay in this very insular community on this little island, which is a source of great frustration to Chester, who thinks I'm an American, you're in America, there's this whole country, you could be anywhere you want, why do you stay on this tiny little island? And that's part of the tension between generations that we start with.
And you had people like Derek Mio, who are telling the stories of their families. His grandfather was a fisherman from Terminal Island who was sent to Manzanar. His other grandfather served in the military, which is also a part of Chester's story in the course of our show. So he is telling the story of both of his grandfathers. … By pure coincidence, this was not by design at all.
