Saipan, early July, 1944. The battle is near the end. Japanese women and children begin to emerge from the caves in wich have taken refuge. While a few soldiers surrender, the majotity of Japanese will fight to the finish. Appeals to surrender are made trough loudspeakers.
Japanese propaganda, was successful in convincing many that an honourable death is preferable to surrender to the Americans. That's why some civilians, many of them women, choose suicide jumping from the cliffs of Saipan while the Marines are filming them.
