第二次世界大戰期間，日本軍方曾對琉球下達「玉碎令」，強迫當地居民在敵軍登陸前集體自盡。日籍韓裔導演朴壽南透過在沖繩參戰的韓籍軍人、慰安婦，以及沖繩當地倖存者的證言，揭露這段歷史的真相。本片不僅彙整了多年來關於「玉碎令」的爭議，包含該事件被從日本歷史教科書中刪除，及作家大江健三郎遭控告等事件，更讓韓國及沖繩兩地的倖存者重返「玉碎場」，以超越語言與國族的觀點，重新述說被遮蔽的歷史與記憶。

 

Director Park Soo-nam tells the story of the Okinawan "Gyokusai" — group suicides ordered after Japan’s defeat in the Second World War — through interviews with survivors from Kerama Island and the Korean workers of the Japanese Imperial Army in Okinawa. Gyokusai, the final sacrifice of life in opposition of Japan’s enemies, was not only about suicide. Park presents the issues surrounding the Okinawa Gyokusai, bringing to light the difficulties and pain experienced by Okinawan and Korean people during the war.
