About the film
"The Navy Generation Documentary Project is a film in progress about the experience of a group the Japanese refer to as Ōbeikei (“Westerners”), or descendants of the original Bonin Islanders, who live on Chichijima in the Ogasawara/Bonin Islands about 1000 km (625 mi) south of Tokyo or 270 km (169 mi) north of Iwojima, of World War II fame. These latter day descendants of the settlers, sailors, explorers, and shipwrecked men and women from Europe, America, and various islands across the Pacific who, in 1830, settled on what had previously been uninhabited islands claimed by Japan, Great Britain, and the United States bear physical features that attest to their multiethnic lineage. A minority, though, in their homeland since the 1870s when Japanese administrators and immigrant groups began arriving in great numbers, the original Bonin Islanders were pushed ever more to the background and many eventually intermarried with the new arrivals."
