A Hollywood Producer on a Christian College Campus
Jack Hafer, producer of the movie To End All Wars, came to John Brown University today to speak in a chapel service, to make appearances in several classes, and to answer questions following a showing of his film tonight. Previously published in England under the titles Through the Valley of the Kwai and Miracle on the River Kwai, and the basis for the fictionalized movie Bridge on the River Kwai, To End All Wars is the story of Ernest Gordon, a Scottish POW in World War II, captured by the Japanese and held captive in Thailand for three and a half years. While in the prison camp, Gordon and his fellow prisoners experienced a spiritual movement, a revival of Christianity that caused them to act positively toward both one another and toward their Japanese guards.
