Most Honorable Son

After the Pearl Harbor attack, Ben Kuroki volunteered for the U.S. Army Air Corps. He would become the first Japanese-American war hero, surviving 58 missions as an aerial gunner. Between tours of duty he found himself at the center of controversy; a lone spokesman against the racism faced by the thousands of Japanese Americans. MOST HONORABLE SON recounts one man's remarkable journey through WW II, providing context to two disparate histories.

This award winning national PBS documentary was directed by Bill Kubota and edited by Scott Kemp.
