Maybe they should consider asking McDonald’s if they’ll plug this casting call on their i-am-asian website. Just kidding.

(In all seriousness, I am not mocking this truly worthy project. If you fit their descriptions and can volunteer, please do it.)

The National Japanese American Historical Society and nationally known playwright and filmmaker, Lane Nishikawa, are launching the first dramatic, feature-length film about the 100th/442nd all-Nisei Regimental Combat Team since GO FOR BROKE was produced in 1951. ONLY THE BRAVE, tells the heroic story of how the 100th/442nd RCT rescued “Lost Battalion” of the Texas 141st Regiment during World War II. Although suffering over 800 casualties fighting through German lines, the Japanese-American soldiers were able to save and rescue over 200 of their fellow American soldiers. The 100th/442nd became the most highly decorated unit in American history.
