Long March to Freedom

Episodes(3)

For the thousands of British, American, and Commonwealth soldiers held as prisoners of war, or POWs, during World War II, liberation was a dream that seemed like it would never come true. Many succumbed to harsh weather, lack of food, and cruel treatment by their German guards. Through the harrowing first-hand accounts of veterans, this film tells the heart-wrenching stories of the men who survived.
