FROM BURMA TO THE RIVER KWAI - English • Great Railways
Producer NICK LERA explores the infamous ‘Death Railway’ built by the Japanese during the Second World War to provide overland access to Burma in support of their ill-fated advance on India. In Thailand we travel by steam train across the creaking wooden trestles beside the Kwai River, and visit the Hellfire Pass where thousands of Allied prisoners and Asian conscripts died in forced labour conditions hacking the line through solid rock. In present-day Myanmar we travel behind classic British steam locomotives from Rangoon towards the Thai border, pausing at the Sittang river where the British lost the bridge to the Japanese in 1942. The exotic settings belie the trauma of their recent history. Filmed in 1999 before steam power was discontinued.
