Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle
Japan, 1944. Hiroo Onoda, 22 years old and trained for intelligence work, discovers a worldview opposite to the official line: no suicide; stay alive no matter what; the goal is more vital than everything else. This task will be to wage guerilla warfare on Lubang, a small island in the Philippines where the Americans are due to land, until the Japanese troops return. Soon thereafter, the Empire would capitulate; Onoda, 10,000 days later.
