Rare Earth

The Islands Where the Japanese Empire was Born (and Died) (2017x3)

Air date: May 29, 2017

Welcome to Ogasawara! A thousand kilometres into the Pacific, nestled in a jungle cabin, we are searching out untold history. Our first video from these islands takes place near a set of stones that are nearly impossible to find on Google. An incredibly important moment in history, hidden away on a hillside and seemingly unknown even to those living nearby. Join us as we search for Rare Earth, and learn about the Empire of Japan.
