Tuesday, May 18, 2021 - 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. EDT
鈥滷acing the Mountain鈥� is an unforgettable chronicle of war-time America and the battlefields of Europe. Based on Daniel James Brown鈥檚 extensive interviews with the families of the protagonists as well as deep archival research, it portrays the kaleidoscopic journey of four Japanese-American families and their sons, who volunteered for 442nd Regimental Combat Team and were deployed to France, Germany, and Italy, where they were asked to do the near impossible. Brown also tells the story of these soldiers鈥� parents, immigrants who were forced to shutter the businesses, surrender their homes, and submit to life in concentration camps on U.S. soil.
