"The Registry" breaks open the hidden history of the U.S. Army's Military Intelligence Service (MIS) during World War II — a story made possible because of a few aging Japanese American veterans with a little Internet savvy and a lot of determination.

"The Registry" is on Facebook.

A film by Bill Kubota and Steve Ozone. KDN Films.
