Veterans Day is next Tuesday, and to mark the occasion, the performance documentary, “Defining Courage,” is returning to Oʻahu. It tells the story of the soldiers of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the 100th Infantry Battalion through interviews and song.
It first screened on Oʻahu in 2023, but the 2025 version features new original music and new stories. “Defining Courage” is the passion project of ABC 7 Los Angeles news anchor David Ono. He recently sat down with HPR to discuss the documentary.
Ono’s multimedia documentary, “Defining Courage,” will be performed at McKinley High School this Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, and at Baldwin High School on Maui on Monday.
