“The Great Raid”


This is the little known story of a battalion of Midwestern Army Rangers picked to raid a Japanese POW camp near the end of WWII. As the Allied troops are advancing, the Japanese are eliminating hundreds of POWs using gruesome methods. The story covers a virtually impossible-to-accomplish 4-day mission. The videography is great. You understand the lives of the POWs and how the Phillipine resistance thwarted Japanese attempts to reinforce troops. Not only does it tell the overall strategy of the raid but it gets into the human stories behind the people in the battalion and the POWs.
The disturbing images are at the beginning of the film when you see the Japanese douse POW’s with gas and burn them alive. There is mild cussing if any. I would take my 12-year-old boys to see it.
