Go for Broke!
“The story of Japanese-American soldiers who fought in Europe during World War II”
A tribute to the U.S. 442nd Regimental Combat Team, formed in 1943 by Presidential permission with Japanese-American volunteers. We follow the training of a platoon under the rueful command of Lt. Mike Grayson who shares common prejudices of the time. The 442nd serve in Italy, then France, distinguishing themselves in skirmishes and battles; gradually and naturally, Grayson's prejudices evaporate with dawning realization that his men are better soldiers than he is.
A powerful, character-driven war film that showcases immense bravery and the erosion of prejudice through shared combat. It feels like a testament to camaraderie forged in the crucible of battle, with moments of both intense action and quiet reflection.
