Overview

This story is based on historical facts. For over 50 years, the U.S. government thwarted the efforts of American WWII POWs to seek justice from Japan for mistreatment while interned. Now, after decades of frustration, a dwindling number of aging POWs organize to sue their own government. Two attorneys take up their cause against an arrogant, uncaring government Defense Attorney who believes the Plaintiffs have no case. Suspense mounts as the story twists in unexpected ways: -A former Japanese soldier interned by the Soviets in WWII testifies on behalf of the plaintiffs, as does a Japanese legal scholar. -A Dutch Prime Minister gives background information on the global machinations at work behind the treaty that allegedly blocked the American POWs from suing Japan for just payment for their suffering. -The International Red Cross, a doctor, and former POWs also testify to the appalling, inhuman conditions the men and women suffered at the hands of the Japanese. -A former United States Senator makes an appearance on behalf of the plaintiffs. Is sufficient evidence provided to win long-awaited justice?
