MP3•Episode home

A one-legged Chinese Admiral and triad vigilantes make the most out of the period during the Battle of Hong Kong when the Imperial Japanese Army held the mainland side of the water and the British/Indian/Canadian/Hong Kong forces retreated within their island ‘fortress’. We experience the Battle through the words of ordinary people who were there.
