ABOUT THE FILM
A revealing look at how the United States conscripted Filipino American forces to defeat WWII Axis powers – then systematically denied these veterans the rights and benefits promised for honorable service. The film follows three of these veterans as they endeavor to right the wrong. As judicial solutions hit a brick wall and all eyes turn to Congress, will America stand up for the values it claims, and will these veterans get the recognition they deserve before they are all dead?

ABOUT SILVER SCREEN SERIES
The Silver Screen Series is intended as a gathering place where documentary films can be shown and shared. These films draw on the humanities values of biography, history, culture, and ethics. They are about the stories that define us, connect us with each other, express our values and convey our experiences. The Silver Screen Series is funded in part by Maryland Humanities and The National Endowment for the Humanities.
