After brief thoughts on the significance of the MIS by musician Jake Shimabukuro and actress Tamlyn Tomita, the film begins with MIS veteran Takejiro Higa and his wife in Honolulu, following them as they attend a ceremony of the new visitors center at the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in 2011, as they recall the attack on Pearl Harbor.\n </p>\n <p>\n The film next turns to the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Kibei\" title=\"Kibei\">\n Kibei\n </a>\n status of many of the men, the wartime incarceration of Japanese Americans on the West Coast, and the rigorous curriculum at the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Military_Intelligence_Service_Language_School\" title=\"Military Intelligence Service Language School\">\n Military Intelligence Service Language School\n </a>\n , which began in San Francisco, but moved to Minnesota after the exclusion. Next, we hear stories from the men of their service in the Pacific, whether in combat, as interrogators, as translators of valuable documents, or as creators of propaganda aimed at both Japanese soldiers and civilians. The film then turns to the Battle of Okinawa, focusing on the role of Okinawan Americans who were able to save the lives of civilians by convincing them to surrender and exit the caves and tombs in which they were hiding. The film highlights the story of Higa, who describes his mixed feelings in landing in Okinawa where he had largely been raised and who discovers former classmates from Okinawa among those he ends up interrogating. He later visits relatives in Okinawa who were initially angered by his role in the war.\n </p>\n <p>\n With the end of the war, the film turns to Japanese American MIS soldiers in the occupation period, with several describing the miserable conditions Japanese civilians faced in the early postwar period. In discussing the intelligence role played by some in the MIS, the film highlights the exploits of\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Richard_Sakakida\" title=\"Richard Sakakida\">\n Richard Sakakida\n </a>\n , though he had passed away by the time of the film and is thus not interviewed.

As of 2016, he had directed 27 feature films. Moving temporarily to Los Angeles in 2001, he became acquainted with the story of the Japanese American World War II experience through meeting local Japanese Americans and became interested enough in the story to make the documentary film\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Toyo%27s_Camera:_Japanese_American_History_During_WWII_(film)\" title=\"Toyo's Camera: Japanese American History During WWII (film)\">\n Toyo's Camera: Japanese American History during World War II\n </a>\n </i>\n in 2009.
