Featuring
Q&A with Director John Dahl
|
From
director John Dahl comes the stirring true story of one
of the most spectacular rescue missions ever to take
place in American history: "the great raid on
Cabanatuan," the daring exploit that would liberate
more than 500 U.S. Prisoners of War in the face of
overwhelming odds. A
gripping depiction of human resilience, the film vividly
brings to life the personal courage and audacious
heroism that allowed a small but stoic band of World War
II soldiers to attempt the impossible in the hopes of
freeing their captured brothers.
Once a tale shared across the United States, the
long-lost story of The
Great Raid has been recreated with meticulous
authenticity to pay testimony to the many different
people, from U.S. commanders to Filipino soldiers to
women aid workers to the POWs themselves, who played a
part in turning this time of intense hardship and
unrelenting danger into a moment of inspiration.
