Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and history and war-film fans. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Shelve it next to Gandhi or Judgment at Nuremberg. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 52 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The story behind the Hollywood film 'The Great Escape', examining the search for the Gestapo men who murdered 50 of the escapers.
