The Railway Man

Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky

This powerful true story is based on the best-selling memoirs of World War II veteran Eric Lomax. While serving in the British army, Lomax was taken prisoner by Japanese troops, tortured by the army and forced to work as a slave labourer constructing railways. The Railway Man is an inspirational story of his journey towards forgiving his captors for their brutal actions.
