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. Our 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?
