The accomplishments of the segregated Japanese American 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team in Europe, one of the most decorated units in U.S. Army history, has been widely recognized as one of the ironies of the World War II experience given the wartime incarceration of over 110,000 West Coast persons of Japanese ancestry. Less well known were roughly 6,000 Japanese Americans who served in the Pacific theater as part of the Military Intelligence Service. The story of the MIS, whose service is said to have shortened the Pacific War by two years, is told in the documentary film The Registry, which is accompanied by a post-screening discussion with the film’s director/producers Bill Kubota and Steve Ozone
