It is a painful thing to imagine having freedom taken away from you. It is a thousand times more unbearable having freedom taken away from you in times of war. And then there is life under captivity. Such situations should be unthinkable, but they did happen, and they still continue to happen, just in different circumstances. From books to films to television, there is no shortage of media that detail the harrowing experiences under the unenviable designation of Prisoners of War. It’s a good thing, too, as these stories and accounts serve as a reminder of the horrors of war.
