DESCRIPTION:A conversation with film director, John Junkerman\nSelected clips from 
 OKINAWA: The Afterburn will be shown\n\nIn 1945, the Japanese island of 
 Okinawa was the site of the longest and bloodiest battle of the Pacific 
 War. Still today, with 32 American bases, it remains a bastion of US 
 military power in East Asia. After their island was literally burned to 
 ashes, the Okinawan people developed a deep-seated aversion to war, but the 
 island was fated to be the launching pad for American wars in Korea, 
 Vietnam, and the Middle East.\n\nAcclaimed in Japan since its June 2015 
 release, Okinawa: The Afterburn is the first film to provide a 
 comprehensive picture of the battle and the ensuing occupation of the 
 island by the US military. This revised, updated English version provides 
 timely context for the ongoing controversy over the construction of a new 
 Marine Corps base on Okinawa.\n\nThe film depicts the history of military 
 dominance and popular resistance from the postwar occupation through the 
 present. Okinawa: The Afterburn is a heartfelt plea for peace and an 
 expression of deep respect for the unyielding spirit of the Okinawa 
 people.\n\nYou are an important part of every program! \n\nThe forum really 
 is a conversation and that includes you. So come prepared to ask questions 
 or share your opinions.\n\nOther Voices Monthly Forum is held at the Midpen 
 Media Center, where it is recorded for later broadcast on local cable 
 television and streaming on the Internet. Previous forums (and other 
 videos) can be seen at our YouTube Channel or the Video Page at our 
 website.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/10/19/18792473.php
