Presenting the experience of an ordinary soldier captured by the Japanese in Singapore in February, 1942, Leo Rawlings' story is told through his own pictures and his own words. As he portrays a world that is uncompromising, vivid and raw, he pulls no punches, depicting the cruelty that was inflicted on the prisoners of war by their own officers, as well as the shocking day-to-day reality of POW life.
