Changi

As Australia enters World War II, David, Gordon, Bill, Curley, Eddie and Tom are young and carefree. They eagerly enlist, but are soon captured by the Japanese and marched off to the dreaded Changi prison camp. For over three years, each of them endures unspeakable torments inflicted by the Japanese. They lose almost everything that is important to them, yet they survive through the most unlikely means imaginable — laughter. It is a powerful, life-affirming weapon that will ultimately prove as vital to their survival as food and water. After the war, the mates vow to reunite every nine years. As the time draws near for the next reunion, long-buried memories of their horrifying experiences resurface, threatening to finally destroy what their captors of long ago could not.
