War for Guam
Discover the compelling story of the Chamorro people during World War II. Despite enduring brutal Japanese occupation, the Chamorros remained loyal to the U.S. The film reveals the post-war struggle as the U.S. military stripped them of their ancestral lands. What began as a story of rescue became one of reoccupation and a new fight for justice.
Along the Ugum River
Based on true events from 1972, this gripping tale follows a CHamoru fisherman who discovers a Japanese soldier straggler. He faces a moral dilemma—should he turn the soldier in or seek vengeance for his family, who were victims of the Imperial Japanese Army during the war?
