¡Japanese Movie (Documentary)
Description
[Machine Translation] Director Tadahiko Sako of "The Man the U.S. Military Fears the Most: His Name is Kamejiro" focuses on Okinawa Governor Akira Shimada at the end of the Pacific War in this documentary depicting the little-known history of Okinawa during the war. --In the words of former Okinawa Governor Masahide Ota, who passed away, "The experience of the Battle of Okinawa is something that cannot be completely erased from the feelings of the Okinawan people. Even after the war, Okinawa was forced to endure 27 years of U.S. military occupation, and it will soon be half a century since the reversion of Okinawa to Japan. The starting point of this hardship is what Mr. Ota refers to as the Battle of Okinawa. Akira Shimada: The Last Governor of Okinawa during the War" tells the story of a bureaucrat who, just before the Battle of Okinawa, dared to go to Okinawa as governor, realizing that it was a deadly place where the U.S. military would inevitably land, and entrusted the lives of 600,000 residents to him. With no video or sound recording of the incident, the film is a challenge to bring the character into relief through narration and numerous testimonies. The film is narrated by Motoyo Yamane, Masatake Tsugayama, and Kuranosuke Sasaki, who narrates Akira Shimada's story. Leaflet (4 pages) is enclosed.
