Screenings to be held at 12PM and 2PM.

Composed of Japanese American soldiers who were trained as linguists, the MIS were essential in helping the U.S. achieve victory in the Pacific Theater during WWII. Many of the soldiers fighting and translating on the frontlines were Nisei who had previously been incarcerated with their families in U.S. concentration camps.

Q&A with MIS veteran Hitoshi Sameshima to follow 2PM screening.
