DESCRIPTION:<em>Calling Tokyo</em> tells the story of Japanese Americans wh
 o participated in the United States and Britain's World War II broadcast c
 ampaign to influence the hearts and minds of people in Japan. Some of the 
 radio broadcasters will share their experiences after the screening.&nbsp\
 ;\n\nThis is a story of discovery by a son\, (Gary Ono) who learned about 
 what his father did during the war\, shortly after the signing of the 1988
  Civil Rights Act. Upon finding out\, he set out to tell this unhearalded 
 story about his father (Sam Masami Ono) and a group of Japanese Americans 
 who as U.S. civilians served America during World War II even as their fam
 ily and friends were imprisoned in concentration camps.\n\nWhile the unequ
 aled battle records of Japanese American soldiers are now legendary\, litt
 le is known about the vital role played by these US citizens who did langu
 age translation work and short wave radio broadcasting to Japan assisting 
 in the joint wartime propaganda efforts of Britain and the USA. Through ac
 tual recordings and first person interviews with the participants of those
  broadcasts\, &rdquo\;Calling Tokyo&rdquo\; is a fascinating story about a
  unique effort to support and help hasten the end of the war.\n\nProduced
