Broken Sun is a 2008 Australian film set in 1944 about a World War I veteran who meets an escaped Japanese POW. The story is partly based on the Cowra breakout of 1944.[3] The film was the debut feature from Brad Haynes.[4]
Reception
Reviewing the film for The Sydney Morning Herald, critic Sandra Hall said that, while admiring the efforts of first-time director Brad Haynes, concluded that it "suffers at times under the weight of its anti-war theme".[5]
