Savage Christmas: Hong Kong 1941

This film is part of the Valour and the Horror series, three controversial films on Canadian involvement in World War II. In the autumn of 1941, nearly 2,000 inexperienced Canadian soldiers were sent to Hong Kong at the request of the British government as a symbolic show of strength that would deter a Japanese attack on the colony. Canada's soldiers found themselves in the midst of a desperate battle they could not hope to win. On Christmas Day, 1941, the British colony of Hong Kong officially surrendered to Japan. The surviving defenders became prisoners of war. Over the next three and a half years, many of them would come to envy the dead.

      «And what would you know about it Junior???? Didn't like the guy who sold you your Ipod? Be careful about how you speak about the HK veterans for they went through more than you'll ever encounter. I would love to carry the burden that my ancestors did as well being a second generation Canadian but you should probably think about continuing on with your life rather than fighting your ancestor's war........»

      «IIts not very nice to be treated like human trash by another race isn't it? Maybe those Canadian POWs that survived the ordeal walked away with a new perspective about how they treat orientals in Canada. Hell they even treated the Chinese in Hong Kong like crap, nothing like tasting your own medicine, bet they didn't like it. »
