    10/10
    One of the best documentaries on the 'forgotten' Korean War
    A moving account largely drawn from personal stories of mostly US soldiers involved in what was described as one the worst battles for any Marine battalion. What was initially an ill-advised push to the Chinese Border ended up in a bloody and frozen retreat. Finally a Korean documentary worth watching.
