War for Guam

The documentary focuses on the Chamorro people of Guam, who displayed loyalty to the U.S. during a harsh Japanese occupation. After World War II, they faced further challenges as much of their ancestral land was taken for military installations. Through a blend of rarely seen archival footage and personal testimonies, the film sheds light on the experiences of survivors and their descendants.

Directed by Frances Negrón Muntaner, War for Guam highlights the sacrifices made by the Chamorros and the ongoing legacy of their struggles. The documentary serves as a critical examination of the intersection of military history and indigenous rights. Chaske Spencer leads the cast, contributing to the film's narrative of resilience and remembrance.

War for Guam is available on DVD, making it accessible for those interested in documentary films and the histories they illuminate. Collectors focusing on documentaries about indigenous peoples or World War II history may find this title particularly relevant.
