Film Screening and Q&A of Shikata Ga Nai (It Cannot Be Helped)

It is 1999, and Tatsuo “Tats” Kaneshiro is a veteran of WWII living out his autumn days in the quiet seclusion of his suburban home in Hawaii. He was a member of the famed 442nd  Regimental Combat Team, the all-Nisei (second generation Japanese American) unit that became the most decorated outfit in American history for its size and length of service. Although the war has been over for 50 years, Tats relives it every day due to a haunting secret about his time in battle that he has kept to himself.

Inspired by the true-life tendencies of many 442nd veterans who have never told their families of their war experiences, “Shikata Ga Nai” tells of the battles that these now declining heroes have faced on their own.
