My late mother and her family were all Japanese Camp internees, her husband a Dutch pilot having been caught and eventually killed . So I was drawn to watch it. A very dark time in so many peoples lives. The film reflects and captures a dark/haunting mood very well. But itโs hard watching the depth of brutality and despair. Yet in that hell lives the tenderness care and camaraderie of the prisoners led by their doctor and so your compelled to continue watching.
