[ Story ]

Directed by Suzuki Junichi, who has released a series of documentaries dealing with the little-known history of Japanese Americans. On the heels of Toyo's Camera -Japanese American History during WWⅡ- and 442 -Live with Honor, Die with Dignity-, this third documentary completes Suzuki's cycle on Japanese American history.
During World War II, the US Army had a Japanese American army information unit. The US Military Intelligence Service (MIS) was comprised of second-generation Japanese Americans. Japanese American soldiers who were torn between the US and Japan break their silence and talk about that era.
