Japanese Americans in WWII

The 100th Infantry Battallion served mainly in Italy and later France in WWII. They recieved three presidential unit citations, were one of the most decorated units of the entire war, and have a congressional medal of honor winner among them.

Not only would this make an excellent war film, but it would also be a good character piece as well. Men fighting for a country that is also holding their families' in intenment camps? Sounds like a good flick to me.

I'm surprised it hasn't been made yet. You'd think that after the millionth WWII flick was made, they might branch out a little.

Maybe it's just as well. I'd hate to see it turn out to be cliche-ridden junk. It might be better served as an HBO mini-series.

It seems virtually everything would be better served as an HBO mini-series, really.

Just a sidenote: the Japanese regiment was the most highly decorated unit in the military...ever. It is kind of suprising that this hasn't been a movie yet.

An award-winning documentary called Uncommon Courage: Patriotism and Civil Rights was premiered a year ago.

Presented by Bridge Media
Produced by Gayle Yamada

It centers around the Japanese-American MIS unit members in WWII who were working in the South Pacific while their families were interned here in Northern California.
