A great way for kids to learn history through the personal story of this Japanese American who fought in WWII. This film gives a perspective about how Japanese Americans were discriminated against, yet they still fought for their country - the USA. Real students, from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities dig through history to learn about this war hero. Through this process, they develop a respect for the Japanese Americans who fought in WWII.
Citizen Tanouye is a kinetic "shoot-from-the-hip" style documentary that follows the three-day journey of eight ethnically diverse students as they search for the clues to uncover the lost story of World War II hero and Medal of Honor recipient, Ted Tanouye, of the highly decorated 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
