Description: Agarie Koji (Sato Takeru) never complained even though he grew up in poverty.

Then one day in Okinawa in 1945, during the closing days of the Pacific War, the two brothers became enemies. In the fight, 16-year-old Koji who was now a child soldier with the Japanese army, sustained a critical gunshot wound and was prepared to die when he found himself face to face with his older brother. Seiyu had risked his life to return to his hometown in order to save his younger brother and family. However, they were able to transcend their countries and the war, to weather the crisis together ?

Saigo no Kizuna: Okinawa Hikisakareta Kyodai Reviewed by kanzakiaiko

Such an extrodinary documentary/film. The cast is great, the fact that it’s based on fact is great, the music is very emotional, everything just works so perfectly.

An amazing insight too! But warning, have like 50boxes of tissues because tears will just roll and roll and never stop. Trully an inspiring docu/film. But also it shows the reality of things and makes one want to work hard so that history NEVER repeats itself.

In a way yes it’s a VERY sad thing to come to terms with and the stuff in it is sad but at the end,, you can’t help but feel thankful, relief and happiness yet still sad. Thankful because you are alive now and not back during WW2 when it seems everything was unfair for everyone! Relief because of the bond of the family and how they end up. Happiness because of the brothers fate at the end. Sad because of the many lives that are lost and what they had to go through.

I reccomend EVERYONE watched this! War things aren’t my thing, I prefer to avoid things to do with wars, but seriously, watch this! It’s SO worth watching something that you would normally hate watching! It’s completely different to past war films like (thinking Western wise) Saving Private Ryan, Jarhead and Pearl Harbour which are just depressing and make you suicidal. This on this other hand is completely different to those in MANY ways! You’ll understand when you see..
