This was a great movie. My mom was a WAVE in WWII, and it shocks me how little has been shown in the theater about the women who served. Recently, a lady from here in WV passed away in a Kentucky nursing home. A book was written about her, "We Were Angels", but no movie. These were nurses captured and detained in a prison in Manila for three years. I recently heard a tape made a missionary, held for three years in solitary confinement on an island in the Pacific. I am glad the women in this movie were given a voice. I hope Hollywood looks for more stories of this caliber.
Glen Close was wonderful, as were the rest of the cast.
I was reminded of another movie about a Nazi death camp, written about those forced to play music to keep arriving prisoners calm.
All in all, this was a movie well worth seeing.
