"The 100TH, Seeds of Aloha" is part of Project Shaka, a trilogy of educational films on the Aloha Spirit by ID8. It is a feature-length educational documentary that tells the inspiring story of AJA (Americans of Japanese ancestry) soldiers from Hawai‘i who, despite facing suspicion and discrimination after the attack on Pearl Harbor, bravely served in 100th Infantry Battalion and 442nd Regimental Combat Team, in World War II. They fought to help liberate Europe, while also sowing seeds of Aloha that blossomed into a positive legacy that encircled the world.
