Hiroshi SUNAIRI 砂入博史
FROM OKINAWA WITH LOVE
オキナワより愛をこめて
Nippon Docs ¾
Free love for a free Okinawa – that could be Mao ISHIKAWA’s motto. As a young woman during the 1970s, she worked in the bars frequented by African-American soldiers stationed on the island. She captured impressions of her surroundings with her camera and published her first photo books. 50 years later, she is as candid as ever in Hiroshi SUNAIRI’s documentary.
