- On the morning of December 7, 1941, Japanese pilot Takeshi Maeda approached Pearl Harbor on a torpedo run with a specific target in mind: the USS West Virginia. When the attack began, Takeshi successfully hit the West Virgina with his torpedo, watching the plume of water rising into air. As the planes circled the destruction they had created, the West Virginia had sunk to the bottom of the harbor after several torpedo hits. Takeshi's mission was accomplished...or so he thought. However, on a similar bombing raid on Okinawa in 1945, Takeshi met with a sight that forever changed his perception of both the US technical capabilities, and the Japanese ability to win the war: the USS West Virginia, resurrected from the dead!
- A collection of short documentaries culled from the first person interviews of many Pearl Harbor survivors, both Japanese and American, military and civilian. This series of 8 pieces was produced to bring these historical memories back to life on the eve of the opening of the new Pearl Harbor museum on December 7, 2010. A broad, diverse scope of perspectives shines a new, revealing light on one of the most important, iconic events in World History. With the support and funding of the National Park Service and the Pearl Harbor Monument, these pieces present a rich collection archival photos and film to illustrate these personal memories, transporting the audience back to that fateful day, December 7, 1941.
