Ben Karoki's story is one of courage, sacrifice, and an unbreakable spirit. At a time when racial discrimination was deeply embedded in American society, Ben not only volunteered to serve his country in World War II—he became the only African American to fly combat missions over Japan as a B-29 tail gunner. Despite his unwavering dedication and exceptional service, he faced relentless racism from his own fellow soldiers, was denied the recognition he earned, and was even violently attacked by a fellow serviceman.

In this powerful documentary, we follow the remarkable journey of a man who fought not just a foreign enemy, but prejudice within his own military. From his early struggles to gain permission to serve in the Pacific theater, to the terrifying firebombing missions over Japanese cities, and ultimately to his post-war life as a respected journalist, Ben Karoki's life is a profound testament to resilience and patriotism.

This is not just a story about war—it’s about identity, determination, and standing tall when the world tries to knock you down. Discover how one man’s courage broke barriers and earned him one of the highest honors in the U.S. military, the Distinguished Service Medal, decades after his service.
