The fourth in a series of seven films in which Ogawa Productions documented the ongoing protest movement against the construction of a new airport in Sanrizuka between 1968 and 1977. The filmmakers fearlessly enter the heart of the struggle and follow the preparations, discussions and subsequent battles. They follow the farmers into the dark underground tunnels that symbolized their sustained resistance.
