Overview
Never commercially released before and previously only shown to a restricted audience of top military brass from the Ministry of Defence, Captured is a stunning Prisoner of War drama. Directed by cult British director John Krish this tightly plotted drama shows British POWs enduring brainwashing and torture during the Korean War, thereby revealing what a soldier could expect if he was captured.
This title is also available on DVD / Blu-ray in the BFI’s Flipside collection.
