What does it take to survive? Sometimes that answer depends deeply on the circumstances. For seven former POWs and San Diego residents, the answer to that question is revealed in a deeply moving historical account of seven strangers who will forever be connected through acts of war but, more importantly, through individual acts of courage. “Courage,” is a new film produced and directed by documentary filmmaker William (Bill) Lowe (BillLowe.org), which focuses on the personal stories of seven former prisoners. The backdrop: two prisoners were just young boys, one taken by the Japanese, the other by German forces, and held for over three years during World War II (WWII) in the Philippines and Europe. Five other POWs also endured unspeakable treatment inside Vietnam’s notorious prison, affectionally call the “Hanoi Hilton”. Former POWs Tom Speir Crosby, Louis De Beer, Jose Astorga, Henry James Bedinger, Art Neil Black, Captain Jack Ensch, and Lewis Meyer share their individual stories in this heartbreaking and riveting film.
