the final year of World War II, a quiet miracle unfolded in a Wisconsin POW camp—one that devastated the beliefs of hardened Japanese soldiers. They had been taught that Americans were barbaric, that surrender meant spiritual annihilation, and that death was preferable to captivity. But what happened on March 20, 1945 shattered that worldview forever.
This documentary-style story follows the Japanese prisoners at Camp McCoy as they prepared for Higan, a sacred spring festival honoring ancestors. Instead of humiliation or punishment, they were given materials, time, and respect—by the very men they once expected to torture them. What followed moved prisoners and American guards to tears, and revealed a side of the war few ever hear about.
Discover how culture, honor, surrender, and humanity collided behind barbed wire in the American Midwest—and why that night changed the hearts of soldiers raised to die rather than be captured.
