Sisters of War is inspired by the true story of a small group of Australian nurses and nuns who found themselves in the eye of the storm when the Japanese military made them prisoners of war on the island of New Britain in 1942. It is a tale of strength, survival and forgiveness.

The major 95-minute telemovie was written by John Misto, produced by Andrew Wiseman and directed by Brendan Maher.

Sisters of War will be broadcast on ABC1 on Sunday, November 14, at 8.35pm.
