AN EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTARY

IN PRODUCTION
Amid the chaos of World War II, a battalion of AJA soldiers (Americans of Japanese Ancestry) from Hawaiʻi, named the 100th Infantry Battalion (Separate) – initially distrusted by their own country after the attack on Pearl Harbor – fought heroically to liberate Italy and France, earning the name “The Purple Heart Battalion” from the US Army. Their losses were so dire that they were eventually attached to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team including the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion (both primarily AJA soldiers), all together becoming the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. This however is not your average war story — it’s an epic tale of service that develops into 80+ years of positive 100th/442nd legacy that encircled the world.
