520 |a "In the early 1940s, director Orson Welles navigates his meteoric Hollywood rise. As World War II begins, a Japanese American boy visits abroad, and an African American soldier enlists in the army. As the story heads towards 1947, each character follows their own ambitions in search of their American identity"-- american1947.com.
