1. Island Soldier
This documentary follows soldiers from the tiny Micronesian island of Kosrae who serve in the U.S. military at far higher rates than most American states, and the families back home who bear the cost. A moving portrait of service and sacrifice.
Curator’s note: An American documentary centered on Micronesian soldiers and families navigating military service, loss, and the Compact relationship with the United States.
