About this programme
Part one of two. Documentary marking the 70th anniversary of the fall of Singapore to Japanese forces in February 1942, an event that brought an empire to its knees and changed the destiny of millions. The programme analyses how conflicts in rural areas led to Japan capturing Britain's main military base in Southeast Asia, and features eyewitness accounts from soldiers, airmen and nurses, as well as Malaysian and Singaporean civilians. Narrated by Jamie Lee.
