Overview

In 1974, WWII officer Hiroo Onda made international headlines when he emerged from the Philippine jungle, claiming to not know the war was over. He was returned to Japan and hailed as a national hero. After learning of her family connection to this bizarre story, Filipino-Australian filmmaker Mia embarks on a journey, spanning decades, to meet Onoda. What she discovers is the untold stories from her own family about this so called hero they knew as "the devil of the mountains."
