Operation Oblivion: Behind Pacific Lines

1HR 1MIN 32SEC

In the darkest days of WWII in the Pacific, the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) faced a critical obstacle to their operations in the Far East: How could their agents infiltrate Japanese-occupied territories and establish links with the Chinese resistance without sticking out like a sore thumb? Operation Oblivion uncovers the stories of 12 Chinese-Canadians and their secret training under the guidance of British SOE operatives, combining newly shot interviews and never-before-seen images with animated sequences that vividly recreate the remarkable stories of Force 136.
