Ambiguity Okinawa

Three stories from ABC’s Tony Barrell:

Ambiguity Okinawa: A portrait of the Japanese islands of Okinawa and their confused relationship with the USA and mainland Japan.

The Valentich Mystery: This program reconstructs the last minutes of a young pilot whose disappearance over Bass Strait in 1978 led to speculations that Australia might have its very own UFO culture (and a Bermuda Triangle).

That was Then and So is This: This program was broadcast in the last hours of 1999 as a satirical commentary on the media’s obsession with the arrival of the year 2000.
