Futenma Hanzai!

Back in May 15, 1972 the island of Okinawa reverted back to Japanese control. Ever since then every May 15th a Peace March is held to protest the US bases in Okinawa.
This particular march was shot on the back side of Futenma airbase at around 9:30 on Sunday morning. The protesters were chanting, "We are opposed to the base."
