Ken informs me that in Seattle this weekend, there will be a special screening of the World War II drama Only the Brave, a story about the brave soldiers of the all-volunteer, Japanese-American 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team. The film stars Lane Nishikawa, Jason Scott Lee, Mark Dacascos, Yuji Okumoto, Tamlyn Tomita, Jeff Fahey and Pat Morita, among others.
There will be two screenings this Saturday, May 31 at the new NVC Foundation Hall at 1:00pm and 4:30pm. Tickets are $10, and all proceeds will benefit the Nisei Veterans Committee Foundation. Seating is limited, so you want to RSVP to Dale Watanabe at 206-953-2233 or email rsvp@seattlenvc.org.
See the movie, then buy the DVD. There'll be a Q & A afterwards and signings of all purchased DVDs by writer/director Lane Nishikawa after both screenings. For more information about the movie, and details on the screenings (there's another one in Sacramento next week), visit the Only the Brave website here.
