Introduction
This controversial film exposes the confidential MIS (Military Intelligence Service), based on testimony from second-generation Japanese Americans who were to fight against their parents’ homeland, Japan.
Military Intelligence Service (MIS) was an intelligence service in the U.S. mainly composed of second-generation Japanese Americans, a confidential state secret. This landmark collection of testimony reveals the previously hidden history of the MIS soldiers. Despite holding U.S. nationality, they had to overcome racial discrimination and accept their fate to fight against their parents' home country, Japan. The conclusion of Junichi Suzuki's powerful three-part documentary about Japanese-American history!
