General Tomoyuki Yamashita's name has been attached for decades to a legend of buried Imperial Japanese loot supposedly worth over $100 billion today, hidden across the Philippines as American forces closed in during 1945. This film traces the story of the Golden Lily, the covert wartime program said to have looted gold, gems, and art from across Japan's occupied territories and funneled it into hidden vaults and tunnels. At the center is Roger Roxas, an amateur treasure hunter who claimed to have found part of the hoard in the 1970s and spent the rest of his life fighting a legal battle over it, a dispute that eventually reached an American courtroom. The narration walks through wartime records, postwar testimony, and the scandal that followed Roxas's discovery, weighing what is documented against what has calcified into myth. Interviews and archival material carry the case through occupation, plunder, and the decades of digging that followed, without ever quite settling whether the gold is real, lost, or already spent.
