TAMUNING, GUAM - Congresswoman Madeleine Z. Bordallo has graciously accepted to serve as Honorary Chairwoman for the Camp Roxas Film Project.
The 60-minute documentary film will trace the history of Filipino immigrants to Guam who resided in Camp Roxas in Agat after World War II as part of the military reconstruction effort.
With the recent notification by the Guam Humanities Council that funding by the National Endowment for the Humanities for the film is no longer available, the Camp Roxas team continues to pursue alternate grant funding for an independently produced 60-minute documentary film, titled "Under the American Sun."
Most recently completed was a 10-minute Sizzle Reel film, which details the project's goal to document historical migration from a personal point of view. The short film was shown April 5 at the film's first fundraiser, "An Afternoon At the Theatre" which raised over $2,500.
The short film (Sizzle Reel) was part of the photo exhibit, "A Journey Home: Camp Roxas and Filipino American History in Guam," which ended March 21 at the Isla Center for the Arts at the University of Guam. The short film and photo exhibit were funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities through the Guam Humanities Council.
The Camp Roxas team continues to receive enormous local, national and international community and media support for this groundbreaking film project, which documents the little-known history of Filipino-American migration to Guam. We are humbled by the community's warm encouragement and generous donations.
