Valor With Honor
is a new film produced and directed by Burt
Takeuchi.
Valor with Honor is an independent documentary
film based on over 35 interviews of Japanese American
veterans who served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team
during WW2. This small segregated unit of 3500 men is the
most decorated American unit for its size and length of
service. By the end of WWII, the 442nd would be awarded with
7 Presidential Unit Citations, 21 Medals of Honor, over 500
Silver Stars, and over 9000 Purple Hearts.
|
| The 85 minute
feature film tells the harrowing stories of 442nd's
battles in Italy, the Lost Battalion Rescue in
France, the assault up Mount Folgorito, and the
horrifying discovery of the Holocaust at Dachau,
Germany. The film concludes with their bittersweet
return home to America. The entire film is woven
through stories told by the veterans themselves.

Event Web page
Hidden Internment reveals the
lesser-known history of Japanese Latin American Internment
through the life story of Art Shibayama, who was taken from
Peru on March 22, 1944 and interned in Crystal City,
Texas. Over 2,000 Japanese Latin Americans were forcibly
uprooted and interned. Despite their
incarceration, they have been denied redress. Art continues
to fight for reparations and full disclosure of
this human rights violation.
Join us in to the showing of this video, followed by a
question and answer discussion with Art Shibayama.
