ONE OF THE MOST AWAITED MINISERIES – NOW FINALLY ON DVD!

1941. During the Japanese occupation of Malaysia, a group of British women are separated from their husbands and forced, together with their children, on an endless march towards a prison camp. Guarded by Japanese soldiers, they suffer thirst and hunger under the scorching sun, with only a faint hope of rescue. The young Jean Paget becomes their leader and receives unexpected help along the way from Australian prisoner of war Joe Harman. Strong feelings develop between the two, which could lead to something even greater – if they both manage to survive…

The film adaptation of Nevil Shute's bestseller is one of the most beloved miniseries of all time, winning an International Emmy for Best Drama and five Logie Awards (Australian Emmys), including Best Miniseries and Best Lead Actor (Helen Morse and Bryan Brown). At its premiere, it was Australia's most expensive television series and its biggest success, showing in over seventy countries.
