Samurai in the Oregon Sky

Feature Documentary | 48 minutes | USA | Directed by Ilana Sol

In 1942, Nobuo Fujita made history when he dropped a single bomb into the remote forest of Brookings, Oregon. It was, and would remain, the only attack on mainland U.S.A. during WWII. Incredibly, 20 years later, the former Japanese airman returned to Brookings – this time, as an honored guest.
In their own words, Fujita and the men who invited him back tell the inspiring story of forgiveness, friendship, and reconciliation between a small Oregon town and its former attacker.
