Drama scheduled to air on July 8, 2008 on Nippon Television Network Corporation, to be released immediately after the broadcast! Miho Nakazono, writer of the hit TV drama "Haken no Hinkaku", is in charge of the script. Kotaro Koizumi, Yo Oizumi, and Ai Kato, who also appeared in "Haken no Hinkaku", will also appear in the film! The DVD is a complete version of about 3 hours long, including previously unreleased scenes. The DVD is a 2-disc set including a full-length disc and a bonus disc. On August 5, 1944, Japanese POWs rioted in the small town of Cowra, west of Sydney. 1104 POWs, the largest escape in history, is a well-known incident in Australia. However, it does not appear in Japanese history textbooks. At the time, the "Senjin-tsumo" (Battle Lessons), which were taught to the POWs as soon as they enlisted, were absolute. This was the teaching that one should never become a prisoner of war on the battlefield. However, the treatment of Japanese POWs at the Cowra POW camp in Australia was in strict compliance with the Geneva Convention, and it was a very peaceful place for the Japanese soldiers. In such a situation, why did they commit the great desertion and riot? This drama tells the story of Captain Kenichi Asakura ( Kotaro Koizumi ), who is troubled by the current situation while trying to follow the battlefield precepts, and Corporal Jiro Kano ( Hiroshi Oizumi ), who desperately tries to survive in order to return to Japan where his wife is.

Special Feature / Bonus Track: making-of footage, interviews, and more (subject to change)
