This film is based on a true story during World War II, when 61,000 Allied prisoners of war were forced to make Thai-Burmese train crossings
TO END ALL WARS How I miss Scotland and the sea Sea.
There is nothing like the sea in all the earth
Salt on your face, the wind behind you
And the whole world is in front of you You don't feel more independent than birds in the air and fish in the sea
For independence
I think that's the reason why I joined with World War II to end all wars.
I used to go to college to become a teacher
When calling a weapon, call
I'm too excited I left my college for pride
I stopped reading history and chose to be part of history I joined the army ranks Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders
And become Captain Ernest Gordon.
My commander is Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Mclean,
The best commander that Battalion 93 has
Men with deep loyalty For his country, his duties, and his men
Loyalty that is very harmonious with his own representative, Major Ian Campbell.
Men with high dedication to Colonel
As good as the commander
And our loyalty will eventually be tested The Argylls have inheritance as the last defense,
And we prove that inheritance is once again When dealing with defeat and being captured by the enemy.
Coastal Thailand after the fall of Singapore February 17, 1942
Face your death proudly, children!
It's time
And don't be afraid Let's shoot
Bastard, they're just playing with us Appointed from the book ERNEST GORDON
When you surrender in war, your dignity is disarmed as a soldier
What's left is your fellow colleagues
Many of them are new to you Lieutenant Jim Reardon, fleet
One of the few Americans in the area
Get closer to the Argylls as long as the Allies surrender.
We call him "Yanker,"
Because he is American and a little disliked
Kanchanaburi Camp, Thailand
Stop motion
What is this smell?
The smell of death, Major.
sir!
Turn right on the road!
Stop motion!
Face left, move!
Rest in place, move!
Rest in place
Tenko!
What does "tenko" mean?
Definitely means to attend
Today you count in English.
But tomorrow and so on in Japanese
Calculate start!
One! / Two!
Three! / Four!
Five! / Six!
Big ears
Bastard
This is a culture of shame. You're embarrassing them, you're finished Calm down This is savage I'm a senior officer
And I don't tolerate this savage behavior!
This person has human rights!
Drag this person instead so that he understands hierarchy What are they...
Attention of prisoners
You are now captives from the Great Empire, the Emperor
See there is a punishment for those who try to run This is for your own sake You will sign the papers, promise me not to run away Don't run your hair off
This is contrary to the Geneva Convention
They don't care about the Geneva Conventions
Tomorrow you will collect all the papers that have been signed from all prisoners You may disband Go
Leave!
What did you say earlier?
I said you were stupid
I don't have to thank or hit you
Ian Campbell.
Dusty Miller.
Where did you learn to speak Japanese?
What is the fate of the Colonel?
Do you want your Colonel back?
I owe him a life Lots of hair, lots of fleas
I advise you
Stay close to your friends But if something happens for survival
Save yourself.
Barter is the name of this game, friend
They call this hospital the house of death you certainly don't want to end here
Enjoy your health now, gentlemen
This is the last thing you will see
There are thousands more prisoners in camps along the river
There are not many prisoners here, which appear from outside
Japan is watching us in the dark
Without radio
One caught, they will kill you Officer, take care of your uniform That distinguishes you from soldiers This is the only thing that keeps us from falling into anarchy Ernie, where are you going?
Finding out the fate of Colonel
You're just looking for trouble!
Doctor.
Lay it out here
Calm down.
my back
Oh, what happened?
Uh, it looks like you're not bowing What?
Always bow before Korean or Japanese guards
Never look into his eyes when he passes you
That is clearly challenging, always keep your eyes up Rules of Bushido.
Bushido?
Yes, sort of their knight attitude
Respectful and obligatory If you don't respect them They must pay you
No personal matter
This is clear because of personal revenge Yes it can be both
They act together with each other That's entertainment Now listen!
You have to understand, those monsters
Strongly believe we have a low race lower than humans
Beat prisoners for them like pounding dogs
Hit hard,
The blow was dedicated to the emperor You will get well, son.
Give a place to Colonel
You receive a lot of torture Lay it out here
Lay it out here
Listen
I should be punished, sir I have something to do, Colonel?
Start getting ready
What are you preparing for?
Escape
What is Blond again?
Dusty.
Thank you Colonel I've noticed the Japanese
There have never been many guards who guarded the perimeter at any given time
They also don't guard tightly This doesn't make sense to me, except...
Except what?
Unless each prisoner is caught or killed thousands of miles in the forest
Unless the local villagers are willing to give us a bowl of rice
If not, this escape is impossible
Perfect
Yanker
Find out the best escape routes?
Ian. / Ready sir
You have to start living together
Ernest, we fight together
We can sell and buy with local residents Ready, sir
And after I recover, we carry out our plan Ready, sir
Ready? / Ready, sir
Good / Sir
Smart kids They are all obedient
That's just my men
What about the extra food for my colonel? He is at the house of death If your colonel doesn't queue, that means he doesn't work If he doesn't work, he can't eat
Japanese rules, step aside
Come on guys, I'll be indebted to you Hey you heard him he said, "step aside"!
You idiot
Come on!
Wake up!
Pansy Basics
I'll teach you!
Come on England come on
Come on, keep sissy
Come on against me
Enough already
What do men need to lose their dignity?
Come on England come on
How far does it make up for the price of survival?
Dusty built a church outside the camp called the Wallless Church
We are allowed to go there, Japan knows we can't go anywhere
I'll tell you what my plan is after I returned to Glasgow
I'll visit my favorite pub
I will spend 14 7-liter whiskeys
I will spend the night in a soft hug my beloved wife
Are you married, sir?
No, if you have a younger sister.
How about you, Ernie?
Maybe teaching
I'm always interested in teaching
I think I have to see the world first
You still have that hope
Yes
If I get out of here
I will do business and get rich
What business?
Black market
Prostitution
I'll tell you, friend. You can't get rich from the prostitution business. Bear in mind that!
How about you, sir?
What did you do after the war was over?
Start preparing for the next war
In the Bushido code of ethics, the interests of the nation are everything There is no individual interest.
Harmony is how they achieve their goals and expect us to give up too.
What do we say, dusty?
Loyalty, modesty, simplicity
Duty of the soldier
Isn't that good?
Take command, Sergeant Major!
Line up!
Flip right motion!
Show your respect to The Honorable Lieutenant Colonel Nagatomo,
Head of the Territory Administration of War Prisoners
I think he has a crush on me
It's a pleasure for me to meet you in this place You are some of the frameworks that are left over from our victory
and sad victims You should be very grateful In the Majesty of the Emperor
Who is sorry for you guys for being a coward
What do you mean saying coward?
Bushido ethics code
They believe losers should kill themselves
You will give me great pleasure To build train crossings through the forest
For the sake of the glory of the Empire, the Emperor
Japanese Savior!
Asian Savior!
We will build this train crossing
Even though we will build it above the bodies of white people
Because this is your purification this train crossing is 420 kilometers,
From Base Chungkai Camp to Thanbyuzayat in the north
You will build the crossing in 18 months
18 months?
How did my men manage it with the ration rations that you gave?
Officers also come to work
Imperial Engineers will supervise the workmanship
Where are the signed papers?
gentlemen
You have violated the Geneva Conventions
Hague Convention and human rights
Which should properly monitor prisoners of war Maybe I suggest respectfully To you and your fascist monkeys
Don't dream and wake up
Because we won't sign your damn papers Translate it!
I'm sick of this crap Gentlemen / Sir
Take over my men, Ian.
This is very regrettable But we will take and shoot you one by one Let's go fella
sir!
Until you respect the Emperor
Come on out
Get out of here! / Sir!
Let's get out of here
Let's get out of here man
Bastard! / Get out of here!
Bastard
Release me
Major, what happened? What happened?
Bastard! / Major, where...
This is the blood of the Colonel!
This is the Colonel's blood!...
Bastard!
Major
Major, it's the colonel!
No
Don't let him go!
Don't
There's nothing you can do
How can he die?
What will we...
What will we do?
It's okay
What will we do now?
Actually I told you
If the wheat seeds do not fall to the ground and die
He remains just one seed
But if he dies, he will produce a lot of fruit
There is suffering before glory There is a cross before the crown
Face right motion!
Step slowly, Walk!
This
I didn't leave What?
I said "I didn't go"
What about our plan?
I owe my life to the Colonel and I saw him die before my eyes and I just stand doing nothing
Do you think you're the only one suffering here?
You think you're the only one
Realize!
There is a reason why every escape fails
and why Japan does not tighten security We are too stupid to try our luck I have my own plan
You're a selfish bastard
Come on, Ernie.
Ernie!
Alright!
Yanker, wait a minute!
Yanker, wait!
You won't make it through the forest This is suicide!
Look around you!
Look in their eyes Say what you saw
That's right, Ernie.
They're all dead
You know that, and I know
At least by running away, gives us one thing
Hope
Hope, Ernie.
Because without it
We may be here forever Waiting for the end of the world, is that what you want?
Let me tell you something about me I'm not a fool and I am not Kamikaze (brave troops die)
If I don't run away, I'll do the next best thing.
I will take care of myself and that's what I planned Yanker!
We are united here, fighting together
Sure, kid
Every soldier
October 28, 1942 Commencement of construction of railroad crossings
Japan prepares to attack India.
train crossings will be their supply line
We are used as a means to achieve their goals When you live only to die every minute is eternity
Days have been lost The months are mixed with each other
The only reality that you know is now
and currently depends on you like death
It's hard to describe what it feels like
Live permanently hungry in your stomach and the smell of disease and death around you Every breath
Malaria, diphtheria, pellagra, dysentery
Causes every ounce of fluid to come out of your body
Your muscles feel stiff so that your blood circulation collapses Major!
He has a fever Ernie.
I don't know who can survive in that condition
Oh, son Ernie.
You're a good soldier...
... and good friends.
So this is how death is...
Dark...
Cold...
Alone...
There is no reason to fight, so they give up on you
In death, there is no second chance.
So that's how you think when you die
The meaning of all that is you're done with your life and everything you might have done
If I had a second chance
Damn
Japanese-Japanese eat like Prince of Wales
Life does not wait for individual desires
Especially living as prisoners of war
If you want to survive You need a little luck, Ingenuity
and friend who got you when you fell
Where am I?
You're unconscious for days I guess by removing you from the house of death for fresh air You have a better chance to survive I don't know if I want to survive again Open your mouth How do you get food?
I have a connection. Come on, open it!
Why did you do this?
Hey Ernie.
My friends and I have had a bad day.
and we think
What is the purpose of suffering?
I mean where is justice When Japan beat us and hired us to death?
And what good is it that we kill each other to save ourselves?
Why do you ask me?
You said you want to be a teacher
Yes
We think you have the answer sir
Do you want me to talk about the meaning of life?
Oh, that's a good idea sir.
Please...
Leave me alone That's what I think
A man can experience great experiences
from pain and suffering if he has hope
If he loses hope, that's when he dies Tarsau Region (Burma) Train crossing: 132 Kilometers
Alright
Bathroom
Benjo.
Come on
Reardon managed to establish a connection
With the native Thai black market. / Let me see!
He doesn't want to share with others, for fear of being found by Japanese soldiers
At least, that's the reason for us.
Gosh, Yanker, your cooking smells.
Right, Major Campbell.
This is the aroma of happiness.
Honey juice of the Gods.
Our ticket is for numbness.
Alcoholic fermented rice
The only one in this house.
Damn.
Very hard.
Of course it's hard.
Oh, good, Yanker. Let's drink
Sir
You want to do charity, go to church
For me, I'm bartering for happiness Pay in cash
Whatever you have, don't be shy.
Struggle start here
Two cigarettes
Let's go
Ernie, you're still alive Hey Lazarus, come back from the dead I hope I can stay here sir
Nonsense, soldier. We who need you
Come on, stand up Come on
What's wrong?
He hasn't eaten yet He already gave me extra food He doesn't give you extra food, Ernie.
He gave you his meal Help me lift my feet
I sniff that when Dusty takes care of me Major is preparing his own plan.
It's just that I don't know the plan No
Where did you get food?
Some donors without names
Eat
I have decided to start a school for prisoners.
A jungle university
I've made my own whiteboard
Yanker who prepared the guidebook
At a low price
The first class starts tonight
I have got 6 students
It's small, but...
This is just the beginning
Not that I doubt this, Ernie,
But how do you expect to run group activities
unknown to Japan?
In one place the Japanese never approached
It smells so bad
Shut your mouth!
This is the best we can
Get used to it! / Correct friend
Make yourself comfortable as comfortable as possible
And let's start?
I want to discuss Plato to you guys Alright
What...
... that's...
Justice?
Hellfire Pass Train crossings: 148 kilometers
Excuse me sir.
sir.
Is it true that you opened an education class?
We want to help teach
What is your background?
Roger Primrose, trained in fine arts
This is Lieutenant Foxworth.
Usually teaches Shakespeare at Cambridge.
I'm the platoon sergeant Unfortunately he lost his books and poems I guess if I can keep him busy long enough He won't kill himself I'm not kidding, sir Unfortunately we don't have a single Shakespeare book.
"Die, sleep, nothing more."
"And if we sleep, we suffer from heartache"
"And a thousand miseries that become human inheritance"
"Then we should end with holy prayer"
"Dead, Sleep"
"Sleep, perhaps to dream"
"Well, that's the obstacle!"
"In death sleep, do dreams come"
"When we escape from this mortal world"
"Must give us pause"
"There is respect"
"Making longevity"
"Because who can be whipped, and cursing the time"
"Forced oppressors, abusive treatment to be proud of"
"Romance that failed"
"Legal injustice, arrogant power"...
Looks like we have an old poet, sir!
It seems like that, he will be useful
Come on, Foxworth.
"Forced oppressors, abusive treatment to be proud of"
"Romance that failed"
"Legal injustice, arrogant power"...
"and defamation by an empty soul"
"Thinking about yourself"
"Maybe his death produced a dagger"
Good, David.
"Who wants to carry the burden?"
"For complaints and sweat because of miserable life"
"But not afraid of something after death"
"Undiscovered country"
"Where travelers never return safely"
"Blurring his will"
"And make people prefer to suffer"
"Instead of running away from someone you don't know"
In the second book from "The Republic,"
Plato said, "What will happen to a man
Should he enter this world?"
If the man will only be whipped, tortured, shackled
Then after accepting all the misery
He was then crucified on a so that everyone would see
Have a question?
I have a question
Can I hold it? / Sure
My question
If the man will only be treated as you say
Then what is the reply?
Resign and let the devil master it?
What is your recommendation, Major?
Oh, I recommend defiance Justice for detainees, lives are paid
Then what does compassion mean?
Yes, compassion--
The last stronghold of the betrayers and cowards So you want to take someone and crucify him on the pole so that all see?
I'm just looking for justice Anyone want to join?
Sergeant Major?
Blood transfusion
Donations like perlintasana
Why are you here?
What do you mean?
You look unwell Why am I here? good question
Before the war...
I fought with a man in a pub.
That's a very cruel fight
The man is paralyzed
When he came to the police station he refused compensation He...
Forgive me just like that
I don't understand why?
Then he said to me
The debt in the past has been written off He wants to do the same for me He gave me the Book
told me to read it
As punishment
He's an army officer
That's why I'm here
Drag!
Major Campbell is the natural leader among us
He seems to be able to attract them from various nations and groups and he has a way to unite them in a "common goal"
The goal with him
It's better to take 2 more hours
Guard changes between 5 and half 5 every day, so we have to be there between them Sorry major
Do we interfere with your deliberations?
What's wrong?
Major, let's talk about your plan, okay?
Say you have confiscated a weapon, arrested the guards,
Taking over the entire camp
Then what's next?
You still can't go anywhere
and when Japanese know,
We will face 1000 soldiers who are more powerful in attacking us with revenge You won't be able to survive Who discussed the problem of survival?
So this is called a suicide mission
Come here
So what do you want? What are you doing?
Surrender yourself to the compassion of Bushido?
That is what is called suicide
Bullshit, major.
Huh?
Oh, doesn't he tell you?
Some sell it with Japanese How do you think he got drugs like that?
Is that really Yanker ?!
Tell them, Yanker?
Huh?
You endanger everyone's life in this camp
I don't think they even agree with your idea Are you now their voice representative?
Or maybe you are a little against Japan for your own good
Ernie...
We Argyll warriors must remain united
and you know what Colonel
Good child
"There is no greater love"
"Instead of love someone, who gave his life to his friends"
"You have heard the word"
"Love your neighbor and hate your enemies"
"But I say unto you, "but he lost his life?"
"Because what can he give in exchange for his life?"
You made a big mistake
I can satisfy you, American chocolate, whiskey, cigarettes, how about a watch?
Major considers Reardon as a threat For him, someone without respect
Being loyal to yourself, is a traitor.
Bring the books
Bring him
Please
This is my school This is my school!
Major Campbell made a deal with the Japanese people
I'm left alone According to him, this action is not considered betrayal
The school has delayed its plan People change their minds
and Dusty is the driver This book
Teaches to give the other cheek
We read these books
and we become slaves that are good for the emperor.
You asked for this, Ernie.
Could it be that I have to quote something from the songs?
He said the book contained superstition Captain Noguchi said the progress train line was too slow
He received orders from headquarters
Require to be completed 6 months ahead of schedule
Gentlemen, that...

Japan may take our books and classes
but we are determined they will not take
What we learned at our university
Dusty helps people out from the house of death Give them a drink.
Our example is learned
Inspire us to work like never before
Three Pagoda Pass (Myanmar) Train Crossing: 305 Kilometers
and captivate our attention
As for the Major, we even refused his order to repay his actions
And this is starting to hurt him Captain Noguchi said he returned your books
So you keep learning Captain Noguchi is happy to give you gifts In order to be a good worker
What is that?
We are back studying, friend!
Oi, it's 3 years old
Yes, Japanese trade law There is a letter here
Oh! let me see
Since that day, Yanker has not spoken much.
Something has changed inside him It's hard to say if it gets better...
or worse
Students
Short graduation ceremony
I want your excellent appearance Continue
Gentlemen, let's continue
"... labeled dead, we are quite detrimental to our country
" and if life too, few large people share honor.
"He who should live, and age"
"Then he rolled up his sleeve and showed his wound"
"and said: I found this wound on Crispin's Day"
"Parents forget, everyone will forget"
But he will... "
Meat! Meat!
Beef!
Yanker decided to join us
a little late, but he is excited catching up
You're a good teacher
What's your name?
My name is Nagase
Takashi Nagase.
Hello Takashi.
I'm Ernest.
Actually I'm curious
Where do you learn English that is fluent like that?
I used to study at Cambridge.
To be a good translator
I think I have to understand the culture first So what do you think of British culture?
I think there's a lot to learn from them I want to ask, Dear Takashi,
What are you doing in this camp?
I am categorized as physically weak
A prisoner-of-war camp is not a respectable place for Japanese soldiers This is more a kind of punishment Embarrassing, for the whole family
What about Sergeant Ito?
Surely he is a perfectly capable soldier
He was guilty of bad decisions made by his boss
Which causes death most of the troops
So that's what made him so fierce?
Not
In Bushido it is an honor to be sentenced to replace your boss Under the revised law of our empire
Imperial army position
His life is not heavier than a feather
No matter how good we have
We are still slaves to train crossing makers Who dies of hunger
Likewise thousands of people in a dozen other camps
and if that is not enough,
The Major with a dangerous plan
It seems ready to explode at any time
There is something soothing when we realize
We are not the only slaves to be employed on behalf of the Emperor They call them Comfort Women Loot from Japanese conquests Ooh-hoo!
A conquest that originally meant to purify the soul...
Where the true warrior considers the sword of the soul of Bushido
The key to heaven and hell...
A symbol of what he brought in his heart... loyalty and honor.
October 16, 1943 Train Crossing Completion Ceremony
We completed the train crossing in October 1943...
... 6 months ahead of schedule
What a reason to celebrate.
As we said earlier,
They built it on a white corpse Basic yellow bastard race
Just act like them who built it
Damned crossing
At least that's our concern What do you mean?
We built the crossing
They don't need us anymore You stand on my right Will be sent to another camp soon
This is like the final obstacle to the Major's plan.
Half of his men separated that day
sent, never seen again.
Everyone's attention
There is a shovel missing in the equipment warehouse
For those who take it, return it now!
If the shovel is not returned
All of you will receive punishment
You will respect us The spade has been found There is a calculation error... is just a mistake counting.
You may disband What drives a man who was once selfish Sacrificing himself for others?
Friend, I don't feel my legs I don't feel my legs Tonight's graduation ceremony
All Japanese soldiers have been invited
That means there is a small chance is left in the guard post
Major, you don't plan to run away with this right?
We are only six
We lost 6 other people
It's almost impossible with 12 people
God will not succeed with 6 people Do you know God's secrets now?
It's not like that...
I don't tolerate people who are hesitant I still continue to participate
Only 5 people left
Don't be afraid, kid You're not afraid We will get justice Major Charlie Fraser, Language
Sergeant Bingo Johnson, Philosophy
Last but not the last
Attract Wallace Hamilton, Ethics
Gentlemen...
These are our jungle university graduates Let's start the celebration
The music we heard that night was less than perfect
In fact, it's very bad.
But we don't care In our hearts, we heard what was heard
We hear the true spirit of music That's true freedom
♪ Drawn by thee, our aspiring souls ♪
♪ Soar to uncreated light ♪
♪ Word of God, our flesh that is fashioned ♪
♪ With the fire of life impassioned ♪
♪ Soaring, dying 'round thy throne ♪
"If we are marked to die,"
"We are quite detrimental to our country"
There are guards
Duck down
Let's pull him
I'm glad you killed him The music is really awesome
"He will see today and live to old age"
"Will stand on the tip of his finger when this day is named"
"Then he rolled up his sleeve and showed his wound"
"and say..."
There are no bullets in this gun!
Search quickly!
"Parents will forget, but all will forget."
That's B-24 sound.
Liberator
Are you sure?
That's very clear Beautiful music
That's the voice of the Liberator!
Allied Aircraft
They didn't see us, but we clearly heard them and we know, war will turn around
Fuck you
Everyone's attention
These people are guilty of killing 2 guards
who represents the Imperial Army...
... and conspire to make a rebellion
They don't appreciate the compassion of Emperor and honorable Sergeant Their actions must be punished
Dear Sergeant Ito who will determine and punish
Your kingdom comes, be YOUR will Give us enough food today Major
Amen
Bastard
Ito.
Dusty?
What are you saying?
Dusty?
Bring this person together
To the cemetery / No!
No! Dusty!
You're free Major!
Major, what did he say?
Major, what did Dusty say?
Major!
My men Sorry
No, no... no!
No
Superstition
Do it
Dusty!
Since Dusty Miller died,
Something in the heart and mind everyone dies with him
What we have maintained for years of survival
Now it doesn't mean anything at all
God is like playing a joke cruel to us all...
Until I remembered the words Dusty that had long passed
"Indeed, if wheat seeds don't fall to the ground and die"
"he is just one seed".
"But if he dies, he will produce a lot of fruit"
I never knew what Dusty said to Ito that day,
But I know, I have witnessed the power of forgiveness Attention
All of you will immediately bow down before the majesty of the Emperor and the Knights of Bushido
When we hear the sound of the plane again
We feel our release finally arrived
and will happen
Greetings, Bullshitto Knights!
Allied forces thought we were enemies Give your hand
Go away, I'm fine help others!
Help me
Help me, Ernie!
Don't be seen by friends.
It's useless
Don't be seen by friends They think we're Japanese, Ernie!
I almost survived!
I killed my own friend, Ernie!
You just got hurt.
They think we're Japanese soldiers!
Don't leave me, friend Don't leave me, friend Don't leave me, friend Stay with me, friend Stay with me, friend!
No!
The location of the nearest enemy is also attacked.
The injured left their posts, sought help
Their arrival at our camp forces us...
We were left alone by our captives No purpose
Can't do anything.
The future is uncertain, only with the emergency radio left behind Wish a word from the outside world
For all Allied prisoners of war.
Japanese forces have surrendered unconditionally and the war is over
"Because he who spilled blood with me today will be my brother."
"Be it who has never been cruel, today will be soft"
"Starting today for the end of the world"
"But we will remember it inside"
"We are few, we are a few people who are happy, but we are brothers"
August 15, 1945 Liberation Day
Where are the guards?
They leave
Escape to the forest.
Run away from us Which direction?
I don't know You're a principled and dedicated man and I want to be like you
Like you
Major Campbell.
Hey Ernie.
Exactly you came You made a mistake
No
I make justice, friend
Making justice
Do you think I don't want this justice?
Eh?
We all deserve to see him suffer
But this is not true
Hmm?
Right
Stupid, you fool!
You fool!
God forgive me!
Oh, God forgive me!
Oh God, I'm sorry son!
I'm sorry son.
No!
Are the consequences of this life not heavier than a feather?
Bastard!
War is the ultimate goal of hatred
When you see the eyes of your enemy then look at yourself...
Come here
... what is the price of compassion?
Who is my neighbor?
How many times do I have to forgive my brother?
Does that mean I love an enemy?
Can a man exchange his soul?
Those are the questions I face in my prison camp
