      abstract = {During the Second World War, while America was fighting  the Japanese, a unit of second generation  Japanese-Americans was fighting bravely on the European  front. These sons of Japanese immigrants proved their  courage and loyalty on the fiercest battlefields, as they  fought to overcome the stigma of Japan's attack on Pearl  Harbor. The 100/442nd Regiment suffered the highest rates  casualty and became the most decorated unit in American  history. Meanwhile back at home, their families were in  desolate internment camps, forced to leave their homes,  farms and businesses. This film, made by the daughter of  one of the soldiers, tells their story through remembrances  and archival footage. With pride the veterans recall how  they rescued the" Lost Battalion" of 211 Texans about to be  annihilated by the enemy. Eight-hundred soldiers were  wounded or killed in this operation which the U.S. Army has  called one of the top ten battles of all time. The veterans  also remember the friendly rivalry between the exuberant  Hawaiian-Japanese, who had never faced discrimination, and  the reserved American Nisei who had the double burden of  fighting prejudice at home as well as the enemy abroad.  This heartfelt documentary will be welcomed in programs on  multiculturalism, Asian American history, immigration and  military history.},
