Okinawa/Santos plot

During World War II, the Brazilian government forced Japanese immigrants from the coastal city of Santos to leave. When director Yoju Matubayashi reviewed a recently revealed list of Santos residents at the time, he found that 60 percent of them were immigrants from Okinawa. In this documentary, he tries to uncover the truth of a mystery-shrouded misdeed, and examines the connection between Okinawa and Brazil through immigration.
