This review is from: Cowra Breakout [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.4 Import - Australia ] (DVD)

This excellent drama from Australia tells the story of an escape from a Japanese P.O.W. camp by over 1100 prisoners. A few guards are killed during the mass escape along with many prisoners. There's a massive manhunt over a nine day period and you'll be engrossed by the unfolding drama.
