  • "As the last U.S. troops pull out of the Philippines, several American nurses refuse to abandon the wounded soldiers. After being captured by the Japanese army, the women are subjected to disease, malnutrition, and torture in a POW camp."
  • "Film inspired by a true story of nurses who stayed behind in the Phillipines to care for the wounded and were captured and interned inside a Japanese POW camp."
  • "Fictional account about the experiences of Army nurses serving in the Philippines during the second world war who were captured by the Japanese and suffered many of the same privations and mistreatment as captured soldiers. The framing story is that this is the testimony of a survivor, years later before Congress as they debate the fitness of women for combat experiences."
