"Defining Courage in America" is a two hour documentary designed to tell the truth about a difficult chapter in our history in a thoughtful and artistic way with the goal to shift the mindset, to create curiosity, and even empathy for the Japanese Americans of WWII. We bring these Japanese American heroes to life so people can understand their deep patriotism toward their country and how their selflessness and heroism should be recognized by all Americans. The film, which combines the multi-media stage show with interviews from people of all walks of life, explores what it truly means to be an American today. We are in parallel developing an educational curriculum for public highschools across the country that combines the film with thought provoking lesson plans that can be incorporated into any History, Asian Studies, Social Studies, or Culture classes.
