    5/5 True Story of the Bridge on the River Kwai
      by Bill Rodgers (Pittsburgh, PA United States)
    This was a good review of the "True" story. I visited the Bridge last year and was very touched at the site and the suffering that took place at this place. This film is well presented.

    4/5 Very well done
      by Frederic R. Musolff
    Very well done. Totally different from the movie we are all use to seeing.
    This should be watched by anyone going to visit that area of the world.

    5/5 True Story of the Bridge on the River Kwai
      by Dwight Heminger (Claremont, CA USA)
    This story is historically accurate - no punches pulled. It's not a "Hollywood" fairy tale entertainment as the 1957 movie turned out to be - this is real and worth adding to your library. Not only is it a great historical epic, but it also pays tribute to the hundreds/thousands of men who died building not one, but two bridges over the River Kwai. I'd recommend this to anyone interested in history of WWII in the Pacific Theater.

    The True Story of the Bridge on the River Kwai (History Channel) Summary Made famous by a Hollywood movie, the bridges of the River Kwai emblematize one of the most misunderstood events in history. Contrary to the romanticized film version, the structures represent a period of terror, desperation, and death for over 16,000 POW's.

    The Thailand--Burma Railway was the vision of the Japanese Imperial Army: a 250-mile track cut through dense jungle that would connect Bangkok and Rangoon. To accomplish this nearly impossible feat, the fanatical and ruthless Japanese engineers used POW's and local slaves as manpower. Candid interviews with men who lived through the atrocity--including Dutch, Australian, British, and American POW's--illuminate the violence and horror of their three-and-a-half-year internment.

    From Britain's surrender of Singapore to the enduring force of friendship, THE TRUE STORY OF THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI narrates a moving and unforgettable account of a period in history that must be remembered.
