Last month’s commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day brought the experiences of those who fought in the Far East into sharp focus.
So too does this fictional mini series about a medic’s time working on the Burma Railway while in Japanese captivity.
Laying the horrors endured by the prisoners of war bare in devastating fashion, one episode in particular plays on the mind long after the credits roll. A powerful, if disturbing must-watch.
