Synopsis:

Set in 1942, Sisters of War is inspired by the true story of two extraordinary Australian women: Lorna Whyte, an army nurse and Sister Berenice Twohill, a Roman Catholic nun. Lorna and Sister Berenice and a small group of Australian nurses and nuns found themselves in the eye of the storm when Japanese military made them prisoners of war on the remote island of New Britain, part of Papua New Guinea. Despite their differences, Lorna and Sister Berenice's friendship would survive the incredible events that followed. A never before told story adapted from wartime diaries and interviews with Lorna, Sister Berenice and other survivors.
