Hell In The Pacific
Synopsis
The Pacific War was arguably the most brutal battle arena of the Second World War. 7th December 2001 marks the 60th anniversary of the day it all began. The bombing of Pearl Harbor claimed 2,400 lives and catapulted America into the war.
On that day, the fight with Germany was turned into world war. Hell In The Pacific tells the story for the first time on modern television.
With the aid of personal testimonies from almost 100 eyewitnesses around the world, Hell In The Pacific is an extraordinary account of the Pacific War.
Among them are survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack; the Japanese diplomat who discussed policy with the Emperor; American, Japanese, British and Australian combatants; Asian and Allied slave labourers; Filipino women forced into prostitution by the Japanese; and the pilot who dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima.
Filmed in extraordinary locations around the world – from tiny coral islands, to jungles where prisoners of war died like flies. Hell In The Pacific reveals the legacy of war.
