Ken goes to a Japanese American internment camp and is shocked at what he sees
Ken goes to a Japanese American internment camp and is shocked at what he sees. Tensions between recruits from Hawaii and the mainlanders, so-called “Buddhaheads” and “Kotonks”, are running high. Then some news – the soldiers are sent to fight in Europe.
Inspired by real events, this series contains dramatised battle scenes and out-dated racial language.
