SURVIVOR The personal story of a young girl, pulled from her innocent life as a senior high school student during World War II; suddenly thrust into enforced servitude as a wartime factory worker a gakuto-doin for the imperial Japanese government.

Follow her story as she is torn from an idyllic school life, deprived of her graduation and forced to leave her family behind. Suddenly, with little training and even less desire, she finds herself on an aircraft engine assembly line with hundreds of her fellow students during the latter months of the war.

Share her frustrations of spending mindless hours on the assembly line, contrasted with the sheer terror of constant air attacks by American bombers.

Witness her courage and tenacity to overcome the helplessness and futility of postwar conditions in Japan to finally realize her dream to one day go to Hawaii.

Learn how a chance encounter with a young American sparked a love affair that would eventually propel her to Hawaii then on to mainland USA a long way from gakuto-doin to naturalized American citizen.
