The Last Bugle is a web series based on the historical US Army 442nd Regimental Combat Team that served in WW2. The 100th Battalion (Hawaiian), 442nd RCT, and the MIS were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2010 by President Obama. This will be the first web series on the 442nd and one of the few involving Asian Americans.
Some of the episodes will include characters: African American, English, Indian, Brazilian, and Italian. The Italian front was fought by the Allied multinational armies against the Nazi (German) forces. Many of the men of the 442nd were born in Hawaii the rest were primarily from the West Coast of the US.
This project will show stories of WW2 where the heroes are Asian American. A previous project was a feature documentary (2010) Valor With Honor, based on detailed oral
histories of Japanese-American veterans.
