Secret History S01E06 · Prisoners of Propaganda

Overview

In 1943, the Imperial Japanese Army Secret Service forced a group of Australian servicemen to appear in a film to show the 'exemplary conditions' under which prisoners of war were treated by Nippon, and also to soften up the Australian public for the anticipated occupation of their country by Japanese forces. For 40 years, the making of this film remained a mystery. This documentary tells why the film was made and how it has come to be forgotten.
