Description:

"Three Tears in Borneo" plunges into the harrowing true story of 1942, when young men from Japanese-colonized Taiwan were conscripted into military service. Sent to the remote jungles of Borneo, their grim duty was to supervise Allied prisoners of war. However, their role tragically devolved into complicity in a cold-blooded massacre, an atrocity that would forever stain their souls. Post-war, these Taiwanese supervisors faced accusations from Allied prosecutors regarding the severe mistreatment of POWs. The film explores the profound consequences: some vanished, never returning to their homeland, while others managed to come back, carrying the unspeakable burden of their past in Borneo, forever silent about the horrors they witnessed and perpetrated. This is a powerful narrative of wartime trauma, moral compromise, and the haunting legacy of a forgotten chapter.
