The Crossing

Two former prisoners of war recall a World War Two tragedy that occurred as the men, one Briton and one Australian, were being transported in a rusting cargo ship to Japan after having worked on the Thai-Burma `Death Railway'. Lying in wait for the convoy were three US submarines, unaware the ships were carrying Allied prisoners.
