A people sacrificed. A country stolen. A history unearthed.

The story of the native people of Guam, the Chamorros, who remained loyal to the U.S. under a brutal Japanese occupation only to be stripped of much of their ancestral lands to build military facilities after World War II. Through rarely seen archival footage, as well as testimonies of survivors and their descendants, War for Guam explores the experience and enduring legacy of World War II on the island.
