The Cowra Breakout + Return To Eden

A couple of Australian things from the 80's.

The Cowra Breakout is a 1984 film that runs about 4½ hours and is about the Japanese POW camp event that took place in New South Wales in August 1944.

Return To Eden was a 3-part mini-series that a few years later was worked into a 22-episode series that is usually considered to be the Australian "Dallas" or "Dynasty". Here's the scoop on the original 3-parter:
