How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wartime ordeal that unflinches from the psychological and physical brutality of captivity, following American airmen forced to endure both torture and the indignity of a rigged trial. It's a stern, unrelenting portrait of courage tested by circumstance rather than celebrated by it.
