Four years ago, Loni Ding completed Nisei Soldier, chronicling the heroic exploits of the 442nd Combat Regiment, a Japanese-American infantry unit that fought on the European front. The documentary was riddled with irony, for these men, betrayed by their own country, had volunteered for military duty while incarcerated in stateside internment camps. With The Color of Honor, Ding takes us deeper into the trenches, disclosing untold stories of Nisei involvement in World War II. Most captivating is the hitherto suppressed information about Japanese-Americans inducted into the military intelligence language school. Distrusted because of their ancestry, yet possessors of indispensible language skills, the Nisei translators and interrogators aided intelligence operations throughout the Pacific Theater. On the homefront, we learn of the "DB Boys," a group of dissenters who viewed irony as injustice and challenged the government's right to draft them from the camps. Ms. Ding has proved herself a veteran of the media, advancing with a well-textured arsenal of archival footage, contemporary interviews, still photographs and recreations. An even-tempered, somewhat magnanimous observer of history, Ms. Ding sees the Nisei's faith in America embracing even the grave hypocrisy and wrongdoing of the past.
