The Battle of Okinawa, in which the arrival of US troops at the end of World War II led to the death of more than 200,000 people, including civilians. Behind it lies a hidden history: guerrilla units made up of young boys, the nightmare of malaria, “friendly fire” genocide, and adolescent officers from the so-called “Nakano School,” Japan’s primary military intelligence training center. Bringing the battle’s biggest taboos into the light of day, this film sounds a warning against re-armament.
