Tenko (TV Series)
''Tenko'' is a television drama series co-produced by the BBC and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), which was broadcast between 1981 and 1985. The series dealt with the experiences of British, Australian and Dutch women who were captured after the Fall of Singapore in February 1942, after the Japanese invasion, and held in a fictional Japanese internment camp on a Japanese-occupied island between Singapore and Australia. Having been separated from their husbands, herded into makeshift holding camps and largely forgotten by the British War Office, the women had to learn to cope with appalling living conditions, malnutrition, disease, violence and death.

Tenkō
is a Japanese term referring to the coerced ideological conversions of Japanese socialists and communists who, between 1925 and 1945, were induced to renounce leftist ideologies and enthusiastically embrace the Emperor-centric, capitalist, and imperialist ideology favored by the state. ''Tenkō'' was typically performed under duress, most often in police custody, and was a condition for release (although surveillance and harassment would often continue thereafter). But it was also a broader phenomenon, a kind of cultural reorientation in the face of national crisis, that did not always involve direct repression. The prewar Japanese state considered Marxism to be a grave threat to Japan's "national essence" (国体, ''kokutai''). The Peace Preservation Law, passed in 1925, empowered the Special Higher Police (''Tokubetsu Kōtō Keisatsu'', abbreviated ''Tokkō'') to persecute communists, socialists, and other leftists by explicitly criminalizing criticism of the system of private pro ...
