Hi all Just some comments. Waleed: As you know there is already a museum that deals with the resistance, so I am trying not to go down that path. One thing I need to mention, is that we try to keep our programmes as serious as possible, and notably we try to avoid presenting war as a "cool thin...

Re: working as a P.O.W. or "political prisoner'
