Under the American Sun, an independently produced 60-minute film documentary currently in production, will trace the history of Filipino-American immigrants to Guam who resided in Camp Roxas in Agat after World War II as part of the military reconstruction effort.
Preliminary funding was provided through the Guam Humanities Council by the National Endowment for Humanities for a photo exhibit, discussion series and a short 10-minute introductory Sizzle Reel film. Because funding is no longer available (1) (2) through the Guam Humanities Council, the Camp Roxas team is pursuing alternate grant funding to expand the initial short film into a 60-minute independent film documentary.
Director Burt Sardoma and Producer Bernadette Provido Schumann stand in front of aged concrete columns, now in ruins, that once held a welcome sign to the Camp Roxas Recreation Center.
