 Koji here. I’m stepping away from our usual schedule for a moment to share a new project I’ve been building in my garage in South Pas.

As a screenwriter and producer, I’ve realized that some of the biggest "plot holes" aren't in Hollywood—they’re in our history books. That’s why I’ve launched Un-History. Using a piece of analog hardware that picks up a ghostly frequency I call the "Dead Air," I’m pulling history’s biggest icons onto the hot seat for a final audit of their lives.

In this premiere episode, I’m cross-examining Thomas Jefferson. We’re digging into the massive contradictions of the man who wrote the vocabulary for freedom while running a 600-person forced labor camp and drowning in a $2,000 wine habit.

If you like the way we deconstruct stories here at Japanese America, I think you’re going to love this.
