Changi

2001 · 1 season

A bittersweet, funny-sad reunion that drifts between old men's banter and the grinding hardship of captivity, leavened by rude humour.

Overview: Six young Australians go to war, full of confidence and bravado. They land in Singapore in 1942, just in time for surrender. With 15,000 others, they are marched off to Changi prison camp. Together, the six boys survive three and a half years of incarceration. Almost sixty years later, the six prepare to get together for what may be their last hurrah.
