Defining Courage is a story about what it means to be an American. The show is a journey into the legacy of the Nisei Soldier, Americans of Japanese ancestry who served in the segregated military units of the 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Regimental Combat Team, Military Intelligence Service, and 522nd Field Artillery Battalion. Considered among the greatest fighting units in American military history, their extraordinary stories have rarely been heard.

Narrated by Emmy-winning ABC7-Los Angeles News Anchor and Filmmaker David Ono along with live musicians and vocalists curated by Music Director Chris Wade, you will be immersed in the profound and inspiring world of these heroes who fought prejudice at home and the enemy abroad.
