#3 With Honors Denied
Japanese bombs hit Pearl Harbor on a Sunday. Monday marked the start of a young girl’s war. Yukiko Kubo Shiogi, an American betrayed by her own nation, endured her family’s imprisonment during the darkest days of World War II. She lost her freedom and a cherished right of passage, but she never lost faith in her nation or herself. With Honors Denied follows Yuki’s 60-year journey from persecution to redemption, and weaves a heartwarming, true-life tale of a broken promise, a lifelong regret, and a dream finally fulfilled. The non-fiction film was shot in the Seattle area during the spring of 2002. With Honors Denied made its premiere at the Maui Film Festival on June 12, 2003, as the festival’s opening short film.
