Amazing. And read "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand to get an idea of how horrific conditions inside the Japanese camps were.

...and I whine about how the corner drug store doesn't develop film anymore...

Very well done, considering the conditions they had to work under!

It's amazing enough that they were able to make a still camera, but a movie camera is incredible.

That was my thought too. With the complex mechanism required it's amazing. Then, they had to develop it with all that involves. Amazing the human can do.
