The Portillo Expedition: Mystery on Bougainville Island (2019) User Reviews

Intriguing film about the death of Adm Yamamoto, where he died and possibly how. The finding of a gold tooth at the remote jungle crash site gives the film the necessary ingredient to hold the viewer's attention. Worth watching on a lazy Labor Day in 2020.

It turns out that watching a rich guy's video of his summer vacation is not a whole lot more entertaining than watching your neighbors' video of theirs. The circumstances of Admiral Yamamoto's fatal crash and the crash site itself have been well-examined by historians. The only new ground that this vanity project breaks is the dubious discovery of a gold tooth at the crash site, a discovery that the movie investigates at tedious length.
