This episode of Fanachu originally aired on Facebook on April 8, 2020 just a few weeks into the first COVID-19 lockdown on Guam. In that time of crisis, the divisions on island between civilian and military or federal and territorial relations became increasingly apparent, whether in terms of restrictions on commissary privileges for locals, the quarantining of the USS Theodore Roosevelt on Guam after a coronavirus outbreak happened onboard and overall the lack of transparency from the US Department of Defense. All of these issues can help us better understand Guam's current and continuing colonial political status.
This episode featured as guests representatives from the group I Hagan Famalao'an Guåhan: Victoria-Lola Leon Guerrero, Rosario Perez and Heather Garrido. It was hosted by Michael Lujan Bevacqua and produced by Lawrence "Siguenzama" Lizama.
