Notes et avis

BEST testimony against racism I've even seen in ANY movie! Some emotional parts, when he sees blatant racism. The part where his HATE turns into MERCY, as he watches a starving Okinawa family, instead of getting help - jump over a cliff, to their DEATHS!😭 HE'S now shocked into rememberance - of the LOVE shown him by his adopted Japanese American mother, father, and family!🤔 "Happy family," as his adopted mother said! I cry every time I think if it! 😪😥

A must see. A Mexican American, raised by a Japanese family. Enlist in the Marine Corp. Guy Gabaldon. His ability to speak the Japanese language saved thousands of lives on Saipan.

War homeboy from e.l.a. a true story .
