Alex Lu
**What is it like to be a colonial subject of the greatest democracy on earth?** The Insular Empire takes a nuanced look at colonization in the 21st century – within the United States of America. From the invasions of World War II to the White House, from the CIA to the Peace Corps, from beauty pageants to the United Nations, this one-hour documentary follows four indigenous islanders from America’s Mariana Islands: the US Territory of Guam, and the US Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Six thousand miles west of California, the Marianas are strategic colonies of the US - with Guam today poised to become one of the largest US military bases in the world. Yet the indigenous Chamorro and Carolinian people of these islands remain second-class American citizens. The Insular Empire tells their personal stories of loyalty and betrayal, of a patriotic island people searching for their place within the American political family.
