Episode 2 explores the chaotic period after August 1945. Japan capitulates, Indonesia immediately declares its independence and the Indonesian youth seizes all the weapons of the defeated Japanese. But to their great outrage, a new army of occupiers arrives. Van Reybrouck finds a freedom fighter who suddenly stood face to face with the Gurkhas of the British-Indian Army. All the more reason to travel to Nepal and look for the last surviving soldiers who were there in 1945-46. Will he manage to find any?
