The Long March to Freedom

In the final brutal winter of WWII, almost 100'000 Allied Prisoners of War are force-marched away from liberating Russian forces. It is the beginning of an ordeal of starvation, savagery and suffering. Many will die. This three-part documentary series explores the stark story of an astonishing journey as told by its survivors, from their capture, the long years of captivity and the added horrors of the Long March itself. With the passing of time their story has been forgotten - until now.
