The Elephant Cage
media:
That island has been invaded many times and had its name, language and history changed.
Nowadays, the military presence on the island (as also in other islands of Asia) makes that scenario more complicated. This island is confined by
time. It exists in the memory of their children who had to migrate, losing their original names and history but taking with them their physical
characteristics branded in their eyes, mouths and skin.
Recorded in Okinawa, Japan 2004.
