Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle

Directed by Arthur Harari

With Yuya Endo, Kanji Tsuda, Yuya Matsuura, Tetsuya Chiba and Shinsuke Kato

Japan, 1944. Trained for intelligence work, Hiroo Onoda, 22 years old, discovers a philosophy contrary to the official line: no suicide; stay alive whatever happens; the mission is more important than anything else. Sent to Lubang, a small island in the Philippines where the Americans are about to land, this role will be to wage a guerrilla war until the return of the Japanese troops. The Empire will surrender soon after; Onoda, 10,000 days later.
