Helpful Score: 2
One man escapes an ambush and through the mountains of snow he runs for freedom only to discover that after the first few hours of running his flight had turned into a minute by minute grasp for survival.
From village to village without provisions, he endures and realizes that his life depended on the aide of strangers. German occupied Norway, each encounter he made with civilization could help him in his escape but he is torn in asking for help from villagers because if they are caught helping him, they will find themselves in front of a German firing-squad.
Heart-wrenching at times and a definite page turner.
The gripping emotions of personal surrender; what a man had to do when survival or death were the ONLY two options and what he thought when he felt that death would be his escape from survival. The one time he totally surrendered to his fate...fate played a nasty trick on him and would not allow his surrender.
The human capacity to help one survive and escape (even though at times they thought they were saving a dead man), knowing your life was in jeopardy for doing so was quite moving. The human spirit and will to survive is brought to life with extreme "realness" in We Die Alone.
Highly recommended!
