About the film
The most decorated US military unit of its size in history was made up of Japanese American soldiers whose families were stripped of their freedoms and put behind barbed wire back at home. 442 would be a nine-part prestige drama following multiple characters across the Japanese American experience of WWII — from Executive Order 9066 to the end of the war. These men fought up Italy, scaled Mt. Folgorito by night to break the Gothic Line, lost 800 men in the Vosges saving 211 trapped Texans, and were among the first American troops to encounter the horrors of Dachau. In the vein of Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and Masters of the Air — with the moral weight of a unit fighting for a country that imprisoned everyone they loved. As America once again wrestles with the question of who belongs, the 442 story is more vital than ever — a reminder of our ideals, and a warning against repeating mistakes of the past. — Submitted to the 2026.
