Overview
The elders of Kosrae, a tiny island in Micronesia, are the few people in the world today that remember its history. After World War II, Germany gave Kosrae to Japan and thousands of Japanese civilians immigrated there and developed the island’s resources as a result. During the war, it became an important military base in the Pacific for the Japanese Imperial Army and later became a Japan-US battlefield. From after the war to this day, the island has been under US control. The film also contains the rare archival images of Japanese in Micronesia before and during WWII.
