Watch & Learn

 

Documentaries, archive footage, interviews and testimonies — the FEPOW story, in their own words.

A Living Archive

Film and first-hand testimony are some of the most powerful ways to understand what Scottish Far East Prisoners of War endured — and how they survived it. This page gathers documentaries, archive footage and recorded interviews that bring their story to life.

We are building this collection over time, and new interviews, recordings and items will be added as they become available.
