Return from the River Kwai

THEY HAD ONLY ONE MISSION...SURVIVAL. THEY HAD ONLY ONE WEAPON...COURAGE. THEY HAD ONLY ONE HOPE...ESCAPE. Return from the River Kawi is one of the last untold stories of World War II, a story of soldiers who learnt about courage, and used their courage for survival. The story begins at the end of the war when a group of starving British and Australian soldiers have all but given up hope of escaping from the dreaded railway line that had already cost so many allied lives. As the wheels of war grind to a stop, the Japanese decide to send their more able-bodied POW's over to Japan in a last attempt for victory. Crammed into cattle trucks they begin their journey through the Thai jungle, destined to be imprisoned in the hull of a transport ship sailing through submarine infested waters. Amongst rebel raids and allied air attacks there seems a glimmer of hope of escaping. A dream that could not be shattered even by the unrelenting sadism of the camp commander and the ever constant shadow of death. © Screenlife Establishment
