“Our Island’s Treasure,” made by Portland high school student, Kaiya Yonamine, is a call to stop the U.S. military from building a new military base in Okinawa on top of a coral reef. This film documents Okinawan’s resistance to the construction of the base in Oura Bay. The ocean landfill work is destroying a thousand-year-old coral reefs- and other aquatic life in the bay, including a manatee-like marine animal vulnerable to extinction. This is a tragic waste of our environment & our tax dollars, as well as a threat to racial justice and sovereignty.

Will you help protect the people and ocean at Henoko Bay, Okinawa by supporting their campaign to canceling the military base construction? Find out more how you can help prevent this tragic waste at their website “Rise For Henoko” website including the free documentary, news stories, and resources for action including news, and petition.
