Watched The Railway Man with Lee last night and it was so hard getting through the movie. It's a heartbreaker and when it ended I had to leave the room.

This movie was based on the true life story of Eric Lomax who suffered atrociously at the hands of his Japanese captors. There is also a book written by Eric himself, that goes by the same name. Definitely have to read the book now.

Nagase also wrote his memoirs
