THE USA VS. TOKYO ROSE

Tells the little-known story of the Justice Department's postwar pursuit and conviction of Japanese-American Iva Toguri for what it deemed treasonous radio broadcasts during WWII. Utilizing court records, FBI documents, and rare archival footage, the video chronicles the anti-Japanese sentiment which prevailed in postwar America and the injustice it often wrought.
