Watched this. If you watch Rescue Dawn first it’s even better. His story in the movie was astonishing. But watching the documentary was unbelievable. he went back to where he was held, retraced his escape route. He met some of the people who were enemy then.
When he hit the Mekong river, his intended goal to cross, and saw the size of it.... you could see by his look how desperate they were.

And then his life back home and the effects of hunger in WWII in Germany, and then in POW camp. Lets just say a prepper will enjoy it.
And a sad ending.

That guy went through so much.

I was just reading over the bio on Wikipedia and saw the info on Rescue Dawn with Christian Bale. I have seen that too, but it’s been a long time. I connected the 2 movies mentally, but it’s been so long I can’t remember much about Rescue Dawn. I seen it’s not available on Netflix at the moment.
