The Sea, the Island and the People
1h 30m
Overview
The Sea, the Island and the People is a feature length documentary about Guam, an unincorporated territory of the United States that few people in America and the rest of the world know anything about. Its economy is almost entirely dependent on the presence of U.S. military bases and Japanese tourism. Although Guam is located over 6,000 miles away from the U.S. mainland, its American-style malls and road signs are indistinguishable from the United States. The film, similar to Beau Travail, will bear witness to the activities of soldiers in a colonized land, while also giving voice to the natives.
