This documentary, released in 2018, borrows heavily from David's book "POW - Behind Canadian Barbed Wire". Filmed in Medicine Hat, this piece features David Carter at the site of the first murder (July 1943) and is a compelling narrative of the murders of 5 POW's by fellow POW's and the trials that ensued in Medicine Hat, Alberta. In addition, it deals with the execution of those 5 POW's convicted and a sex offender from Calgary/Vancouver in 1946 in Lethbridge, Alberta.
