Hito Hata: Raise the Banner

This poignant drama chronicles the contributions and hardships of Japanese Americans from the turn of the century to the late seventies.

Veteran actor/director Mako leads a veteran cast of Asian/Pacific American actors and actresses including Pat Morita, Sachiko and the East-West Players, in this first feature film made by and about Asian Americans.
