Situated in the western Pacific, Guam was given to the United States in 1898 following the Spanish-American War, only to be occupied by the Japanese for two-and-a-half years during World War II. Featuring vintage newsreels and rare classic footage, this multi-film program examines the island's strategic importance during the war, captures the Seabees' building B-29 runways, and offers a personal perspective from a U.S. Navy sailor trapped for thirty months during Japanese occupation. B&W. 1 hr. 45 min.
