Contents/Summary
- Summary
- An observational documentary which explores the psychological consequences of a military presence. Robert, Jr, Charlene and Margarita are Amerasians, born to Filipina sex workers and American servicemen stationed in the Subic Bay Naval Base, once the largest US Naval Base outside mainland USA. When the Base closed in 1992, thousands of Amerasian children were left behind. Contrarily to Amerasian children from other countries, Filipino Amerasians were never recognized by the U.S. government. Over the course of two years, we followed the lives of our four Amerasians, as they attempt to overcome a past they are in no way responsible for.
