I’m so happy that this documentary ‘s been made. My father was in no. 2 Hold of the ship, he was rescued by the Chinese and taken to their village. Before being recaptured by the Japanese and taken to a prison camp for remainder of the war. He never spoke about it but read the book about it. He died in 1983. His name was Frederick Watkins and he was in the Signal Regiment of the Army. Sept. 2024
I’d like to thank him for his service to the Ally. Hope you had the time to watch this movie. I just saw it on the cinema in China yesterday. Mind blowing
I was born in Nanning, China 1983. My grandparents were Chinese soldiers fought against Japanese during WWII and also were arrested and tormented by Japanese before 1949. Now I live in USA but i am different from other Chinese Americans because I learned from my grandparents. I told American friends or others that it is not my choice to give Japanese my forgiveness for whatever my grandparents and their people of generations. I don’t hate Japanese but I can’t give them my forgiveness.
My grandad was on the Lisbon Maru, Private John James Baker Middlesex Regiment 1st Battalion. We have always known what happened that day, where can I find out when this documentary is being released?
My granddad was in the middlesex regiment and was a survivor of the lisbon maru, he was a prisioner of was. He died in 1985 My family didnt know about the documentary but we are all very eager to watch it.
Unfortunately, Brits today are very fond of anything japanese and it is unprecedented. They won't express their appreciation or fascination for subjects or objects related to Chinese but will go 'gah gah' over japanese. Strange behaviour.
