This video shows humanity at its very worst, but also at its very best. In the 1940s, the whole world was embroiled in a horrific war; but it's the stories of compassion and sacrifice that live on to inspire us. While prisoners of war were being tortured, this short film exemplifies that compassion and caring are the strongest tools that humanity can wield.
As one soldier suffered at the hands of his Japanese enemies through beatings, lashings, and lack of food, one woman did everything she could to ease his pain. It might not seem like what she did for the soldier was a lot, but just a tiny amount of care meant all the difference as that brave soldier lived the remainder of his life with what she did for him so many years ago.
What that woman did stayed with that man throughout his whole life, all he was able to do was think of her and live by her one moving example.
What do you think about the final message of this powerful short film? Would you have done what that young girl did for the soldier so many years ago?
Warning: This video expresses the violence experienced by prisoners of war during WWII. Though this footage is a dramatization, it may be considered too intense for some viewers.
