"Riveting . . . a stirring story of the human spirit." --Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee ". . . a moving look at a neglected chapter in US history." --Kathleen Craughwell, Los Angeles Times Narrated by Noriyuki "Pat" Morita, this exceptional documentary outlines the W.W.II battlefield accomplishments of the 100th Infantry Battalion/442 Regimental Combat Team by featuring stories recounted by Japanese Americans who fought in these segregated units to prove their loyalty to their country. The ironies are not lost as the revelations unfold. As their civil liberties and rights were being stripped away and their families imprisoned in internment camps in the US, they faced further prejudice from the upper ranks of the military, in the trenches of Europe and in the Pacific Theatre. Personal accounts begin with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, continue through Italy and France, building to the rescue of the Texas "Lost Battalion" in northern France. Also included are the recollections of the little known MIS (Military Intelligence Service) linguists who served in the Pacific interrogating POWs, intercepting radio messages and translating documents.
