Proof of Loyalty Screening & Q&A
The Nisei from Hawaii played an outsized and mostly unknown role in serving the United States during World War II. Kazuo Yamane's experience was one of the most unusual -- educated in the discriminatory Hawaiian school system, he eventually graduated from Waseda University, the Harvard of Japan, and became part of the War Department's unusually successful experiment of forming a battalion whose soldiers were closely related to a country we were at war with. Kazuo was plucked from their ranks for his exceptional knowledge of Japanese, which would lead him to the Pentagon, to a secret facility in northern Maryland, and finally to serving under Eisenhower in Europe. Most importantly, he would identify a secret document that would significantly help America's war in the Pacific.
Doors open at 3 pm. Film begins at 3:30 pm (54 min. run time). Q&A with the filmmakers and Joyce Yamane upon conclusion of the screening.
