Beneath the beaches and reefs of Palau lies the wreckage of one of the Pacific War's bloodiest campaigns, the 1944 Battle of Peleliu, where American and Japanese forces fought for two months over a few square miles of coral. This film follows a bomb disposal team working through the islands' waters and jungles, locating and defusing unexploded ordnance left behind by naval bombardments, air raids, and ground combat decades earlier. Rusted shells, corroded grenades, and buried bombs still surface regularly, dangerous to divers, fishermen, and the tourists now drawn to the same waters. The crew's work is shown in detail: identifying munitions by shape and markings, deciding whether to move or detonate them, and clearing sites so islanders can use their own land and reefs safely. Archival footage and firsthand accounts of the original battle are woven in alongside the present-day disposal operations, setting the danger in its historical context. The film's real subject is how a war fought seventy years ago keeps intruding on daily life in Palau, one live shell at a time.
