His strategy was brilliant -- and it would cost him everything!
Vice Admiral Onishi, a brilliant strategist, can glimpse the future.
He knows that Japan cannot win the Pacific War. As the military situation becomes more desperate, he hatches
an audacious plan to force the enemy to negotiate a resolution and avoid the shame of surrender -- a “Divine
Wind” of suicide attacks to convince the Allies that invading Japan will be too costly in lives to
contemplate.
This is the true story of the honorable man who unleashed the devastating Kamikaze attacks, and of
the tragic consequences of his fateful decision.
3+ hour WWII epic film on the life and death of Vice Admiral Onishi, Father of the Kamikaze.
