THE TRUE STORY BEHIND THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI
Discover the extraordinary true story of the WWII U.S. Navy heavy cruiser USS Houston CA-30, whose crew faced unimaginable trials during the early Pacific War. From the ship’s valiant final stand in the Battle of Sunda Strait to the brutal 3.75-year ordeal as POWs forced to build the infamous Burma-Thailand Death Railway—the same one depicted in the classic film The Bridge on the River Kwai—this powerful presentation brings to life a chapter of history too often overlooked.
