About Women of Valor
A group of American Army nurses are captured by the Japanese in April 1942 and spend three years in a prisoner-of-war camp in Bataan. Lt Margaret Ann Jessup, the head army nurse, survives the camp and testifies against the Japanese in front of the United States Congressional subcommittee years later as a colonel.
Directed by Buzz Kulik, Women of Valor leans on a strong ensemble — Susan Sarandon, Kristy McNichol, Valerie Mahaffey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1986.
