East LA Marine is the true story of WWII Marine Guy Gabaldon who singlehandedly captured over 1,500 Japanese during the bloody battle of Saipan in the summer of 1944. This all-but-forgotten American hero was Hispanic and raised by a family of Asian-Americans before enlisting in the service when Pearl Harbor was attacked. His amazing accomplishments should have him the Congressional Medal of Honor he so truly deserved. This film will try to change that.
