Aloha, Hip Hapa Homeez!
We have good news and we have bad news.
First, the bad. We still haven’t released our docu*MEMORY, “War Brides of Japan”, because we’re still tweaking it.
But we’re very, very close.

Meanwhile, the good news is that we've created a new trailer. Called “The Chase”, it features several Japanese war brides recalling how they met their GI husbands as well as several adult children talking about their parents.
