Bitter memories and ongoing suffering for Okinawan islanders

from In-depth News Features | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News · host NHK WORLD-JAPAN

Memories are long and bitter on the tiny Okinawan island of Ie. It's a place that symbolizes the challenges faced by residents of the island chain. People there experienced terrible bloodshed during World War Two. Then, under the US occupation that followed, many were forced to leave their homes. Now, as the Japanese and US governments mark the 50-year anniversary of the reversion of Okinawa to Japan, people on Ie say there's little to celebrate.
