If you have ever seen the film ‘Bridge On the River Kwai’ (great classic film with Alec Guinness) and wondered what ever happened to those guys—you’ll want to watch this DVD. Based on a true story about a British prisoner of war captured by the Japanese during WWII, the POWs are forced to build a railway for the Japanese. It tells the story of a railway enthusiast who is suffering severe PTSD when he meets a woman in the 1980s and falls in love. With the support of a loving wife, Eric Lomax finally confronts his past and learns how to put his terrible war trauma behind him. Not a light-hearted film, but emotionally fulfilling to see a man overcome his past and find happiness in his future.
