"description": "A 1997 documentary film on the Japanese American soldiers of the\n \n 100th Infantry Battalion\n \n , the\n \n 442nd Regimental Combat Team\n \n and the\n \n Military Intelligence Service\n \n who fought for the United States during World War II while some of their families were held in concentration camps. The film is based on interviews with numerous veterans as well as with their wives and adult children. Among topics touched on in\n \n Beyond Barbed Wire\n \n are friction between men from Hawai'i and the continental U.S. during basic training; the unusual story of Korean American Colonel Young O. Kim; the\n \n rescue of the Lost Battalion\n \n , and the continuing legacy of the veterans for their families. One unique aspect of the film is its treatment of the controversy over the role of Major General\n \n John Dahlquist\n \n , whom some veterans feel used the Nisei as \"cannon fodder.\" In telling the story of the mass incarceration, the filmmakers include scenes from the\n \n Japanese American National Museum\n \n and the Smithsonian Institution's\n \n\n A More Perfect Union: Japanese Americans and the U.S. Constitution\n \n\n . The film concludes with scenes from a reunion at the 50th anniversary of the war's end in Honolulu in 1995. The film is narrated by\n \n Noriyuki \"Pat\" Morita\n \n .",
