From the director's statement: In the 1920s, my great grandfather immigrated to the Pacific Northwest. Wanting a better life, he left Japan and started a family in America. Little did he know, war was on the horizon and that my family's fate was forever changed. My grandfather, born and raised in America, was placed in an internment camp along with the rest of my family. Without hesitation, he volunteered for the Army, prepared to sacrifice his life for the very country that betrayed him. ‘Nisei' (2nd generation) follows the journey of two brothers through WWII, Minoru and John Miyasaki, who are stripped of citizenship, imprisoned, but still volunteer to join the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an all Japanese-American regiment and the most medaled unit in the history of the US military.
