Through the harrowing first hand accounts of POW veterans, The Long March to Freedom will reveal the heart-wrenching stories of the men who survived World War II and a long stay in a POW camp.
Then, out of the blue in the harsh Polish winter of 1945, 300,000 POWs were told to gather their belongings.
Three 1 hour long documentaries featuring POWs telling of their introduction to life in the armed forces and describing their experiences at the outbreak of war and the circumstances of their subsequent capture. It looks at their existence in POW camps, leading to their final ordeal as they are force marched, in appalling conditions, almost thousand miles West from their prison camps along the then Polish border away from the advancing Russians – a true inspirational story of courage and determination.
