57 min., 2003, Hawai`i
(USA)
Director-Producer: Heather Giugni
A fascinating and compelling
biography about the life and times of Hawai`i's renowned
and highly respected Senator
Daniel K.
Inouye. Through interviews, testimonials, and archival
and contemporary footage, the documentary assembles an insightful
picture of Senator Inouye's formative experiences: growing
up as a Japanese American in Hawai`i, fighting in World
War
II, and his rise in American politics. The film gives a
moving and detailed portrait of a man who has been active
in making
American history. An exceptional life
translates into a film of inspiration.

American Program will follow with a lecture and book
signing for his newest work, No Sword to Bury: Japanese Americans
in Hawai'i during WWII. |
