Victims of Circumstance<br />
Held captive during the tide of Japanese aggression against the United States, this film draws<br />
the viewer into the horror lived by 3,700 American and allied civilians beginning in that fateful<br />
year of 1941.The American presence in the Philippine Islands stranded businessmen,<br />
housewives, school children - whole families, who through no fault or plan of their own, were<br />
thrown into a set of circumstances which would lead many to sickness, starvation and even<br />
death. They were forced to leave their homes and belongings; forced to leave their friends and<br />
way of life to live under the domination and whims of the mighty Imperial Forces of Japan.<br />
They were interned within the walls of an old university now known as the Santo Tomas<br />
Internment Camp. Their poignant saga is a celebration of the human spirit and the will to<br />
organize and survive.<br />
This documentary is presented through the personal recollections of the internees themselves,<br />
eyewitness accounts by those who lived through three years and one month under Japanese<br />
control. The film includes original photographs from personal collections as well as old film<br />
footage and photos from the National Archives.<br />
