About the Show:
It’s 1941 on the tropical island of Luzon in the Philippines. Helen and her sister, Sally, are among more than one hundred U.S. Army nurses who have come to the island looking for warm tropical breezes and a little adventure. But paradise becomes a nightmare when, just a few hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, enemy bombers target their island. Now, Helen, Sally, and the rest of the nurses must do everything they can to keep themselves and their charges alive as they navigate nursing through a war zone in Manila, a tropical jungle in Bataan, and eventually as prisoners of war in the Santo Tomas Internment Camp. Through it all, the women’s spirits remain high and they rely on the ingenuity, camaraderie, and strength that eventually earns them the name the “Angels of Bataan.”
