Guam's Liberation




Annette1946
January 30, 2007

These clips are from a 60 min documentary about the Chamorro (Guamanian) in the years surrounding WWII. Not yet American citizens, they nonetheless clung steadfastly - sometimes to the death - to their patriotism toward America while the occupying Japanese forced them into slave labor. Told through oral histories interwoven with pre-war and WWII footage this is the untold story of these Pacific islanders. Find more information at www.guamsliberation.com.
