“Sadly the sea is blue and the last prefectural governor Shimada Takashi in the Battle of Okinawa”
(May 28/2003/47 minutes/Okinawa Okinawa Television Broadcasting)
Akira SHIMADA was assigned as governor of Okinawa when an American army was approaching landing on January 31, 1945 at the end of World War II. When the US Army began landing, he moved around the bunker while avoiding the falling shells and strived to maintain administrative functions. Despite his term of office for only five months, he follows his truth that left his admiration to the prefectural people so much that he was called “island governor of Okinawa.”
“NNN Document'10 ABIIME Japanese American Soldier Marched to Hometown”
(August 9th, 2010, 25 minutes/NTV)
Born as a Hawaiian immigrant II and spent his childhood in Okinawa, Takejiro Higa was destined to land as a language soldier in the US military during the war of Okinawa. In the end of anguish, I used Okinawa's dialect to call people hiding themselves in gama () to surrender. “Im so (come out)!”. In 65 years after the war, I look at Takejiro's thoughts coming to the chest and seeing Okinawa crossing.

“Grassroots keep screaming Nakamura Fumiko 1 foot counterwar”
(May 24, 2003, 48 minutes/Ryukyu Ryukyu Broadcasting Corp.)
The “1 foot movement” is a grassroots movement that was launched in 1983 by purchasing Okinawa War Record Film stored in the United States Archives for 1 foot 100 yen at the prefectural citizen's Kampa. After retiring to a teacher, he threw himself into an anti-war and anti-base movement, called the demon of the peace movement, and follows the appearance of Fumiko Nakamura, the Secretary General of the “Okinawa War Record Film 1 Foot Movement Association” that does not lose action even when he is 90 years old.
“Sunday Art Museum Ikusayo Painting Maruki Isato and Shun no Kinawa”
(May 27, 1984, 47 minutes/NHK)
A documentary that follows the completion of the “Figure of the Battle of Okinawa” by the painter Maruki and Mrs. Maruki. Iri Maruki (83 years old) and Shun (72 years old), known for the “Figure of the Atomic Bomb”, traveled to Okinawa to work on a big work of 4m x 8.5 m wide. The couple stayed in Shuri and walked around Okinawa where there are still scars of war. Then, based on the testimony of people, I will overlay sketches.

(August 9th, 1984, 42 minutes/Ryukyu Ryukyu Broadcasting Corp.)
Masago Ishizaka, a singer of “Yambaru Chanson” visits the survivors of friends who were lost in the sinking of Tsushima Maru, and tells memories. In August 1944, the Tsushima Maru, a school children's evacuation ship from Okinawa, was sunk off the coast of Kagoshima Prefecture by torpedo attacks by a U.S. submarine, and lost more than 800 young lives. 40 years later, Ishizaka Masago's LP was completed to think of a friend who sank in the sea.

“OTV News Special Turtle's Back”
(May 31, 2006, 48 minutes/Okinawa Okinawa Television Broadcasting)
In Okinawa under American occupation, politician SENAGA Kamejiro was subjected to arrest and imprisonment but confronted the occupation policy with an indomitable spirit. A letter to a family that was confiscated and did not arrive was found in 2005 at the American Archives. It has been a long time since even the letters of her daughter who cared for her father in prison were confiscated, and there is still a vast base in Okinawa. I ask what it means and the future image of Okinawa.
