Enemy Mine ... one of Lou Gossett Jr's best pieces of work.

A Town Called Alice ... mini-series, but a beautiful, haunting film.

It was an excellent series, and the first I ever saw that addressed the fact that women and children were held prisoners in Japanese concentration camps. I had never know that, before.

In the mid-80's, there was a series on A&E called "Tenko", which dealt mostly with Japanese concentration camps for women and children. The movie Paradise Road dealt with the same subject, but focused on a group of women who used music to get themselves through the misery. We have the soundtrack, and the chorus that was formed out of that experience was wonderful.
