A Week in September

Using a collection of WWII letters found in a shoebox, this story reveals the extraordinary resilience and enduring love of Scott Heywood, a POW on the Burma Railway, and his wife Margery. Parallel stories from around the world—one of Scott's survival through written vows, and Viktor Frankl's reflections from Auschwitz—highlight the universal struggle for hope amid unimaginable circumstances. Through these personal accounts, the narrative explores themes of love, resilience, and the human capacity to find meaning in the darkest moments.
