Few know their story. Fewer still understand their sacrifice.
They fought for a country that locked their families behind barbed wire. The all-Japanese American unit, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, volunteered to face the enemy abroad, while their loved ones were imprisoned at home.
In the rugged heart of the Vosges Mountains, the 442nd faced an impossible mission: rescue the Lost Battalion and 200 men trapped behind enemy lines. This isn’t just history, it’s a forgotten chapter of honor and resilience. Their legacy deserves to be heard.
Little Iron Men is an award-winning feature-length script that unveils the true story of Japanese-American soldiers who risked everything to save their American comrades despite facing severe prejudice. After 20 years in development, the project has returned to a film market now eager for unique and diverse stories.
Featuring a compelling spec trailer and a production plan that blends epic storytelling with intentional filmmaking methodologies, Little Iron Men is ready to make a significant impact both commercially and in the award circuit. With the filmmaker's personal connection to the story—having a father interned and an uncle who served with the 442nd—this film delivers an authentic portrayal of courage and sacrifice. .
