*Genre:* Documentary In December 1944, more than five hundred American
prisoners of war in a Japanese prison camp in the Philippines faced
what they thought was certain death. After three years of brutal
captivity, they believed their country had forgotten them. When they
learned of the shocking slaughter of POWs by Japanese soldiers on
nearby Palawan Island, they knew it would take a miracle to save them.
Fearing the Japanese would murder their captives before the U.S. Army
could liberate the camp, the Americans sent an elite Ranger battalion
to rescue the prisoners. The Rangers sneaked 30 miles behind enemy
lines and with the help of the courageous Filipino resistance
fighters, they mounted an astonishing rescue that was fraught with
danger yet ultimately triumphant.
