Filmmaker Eva Colmers' father Theo Melzer spent three and a half years in a POW camp in Lethbridge, Alberta -- one of 25 such camps across Canada housing German prisoners captured during World War II. Surviving prisoners, including Melzer, recount how their lives were changed by the unexpected respect and dignity they received at the hands of their Canadian captors.
