P.O.W. Synopsis
Germany, 1940. After the disaster of Dunkirk, thousands of British soldiers have been taken as prisoners-of-war. Their German captors mock them: For you the war is over.
But for the men of POW camp Stalag 39, it feels like the war is still very much alive.
There’s new arrival Jim, an impetuous young airman shot down on a bombing raid over Hanover. There’s Captain Attercombe, a natural leader who’s determined to get his men out of the camp. There’s Drew Pritchard, who can barter or steal whatever you need…
Very different men, united by one desire: to get out.
POW shows life in a prisoner-of-war camp as never before. The grit, the hunger, the pain, the camaraderie, the adventure… and the hope.
