The Bone Hunter

Peace activist Takamatsu Gushiken, 71, searches for the remains of people who were killed during the Battle of Okinawa, one of the bloodiest chapters in the second world war. As the US seeks to bolster its military presence on the island, due to its close proximity to China, Taiwan and North Korea, we explore the multi-layered tensions that have haunted the people of Okinawa for 80 years
