As many of you who keep up with the current news (and we know most of our Doc viewers out there indeed keep an ear to the ground on current events) probably already know, the woman accused of being “Tokyo Rose”, Iva Toguri D’Aquino, died this past?Ǭ† Wednesday at the age of 90.?Ǭ† D’Aquino was charged and later acquitted of being the infamous Rose, a radio host that blasted the airwaves with anti-American propaganda for the Japanese during WWII.

The USA vs. Tokyo Rose, a Documentary Channel exclusive, tells the little-known story of the Justice Department’s postwar pursuit and conviction of D’Aquino.?Ǭ† Utilizing court records, FBI documents, and rare archival footage, the film chronicles the anti-Japanese sentiment which prevailed in postwar America and the injustice it often wrought.?Ǭ† You can catch The USA vs. Tokyo Rose on October 1st at 7:20pm ET, and again on October 2nd at 12:20 am ET for you night owls out there.
