Chosin

Emotionally Provoking History to Matter
Really cannot say enough about this documentary. I have seen it at least half a dozen times and each time something different makes me tear up because of how much power is rolled into the 1 hr. 20 minutes of film. Beyond the personal story of the directors (with their sweat & determination to film and donate over 300 hours of interviews to the Marine Corps Museum) the journey captured on screen enlightens all of us about the Cold War - a topic hardly ever discussed in modern day schools, let alone public offices or dinner tables.

Told from the viewpoint of the last remaining living veterans who took part in one of the most decorated battles in US history, Chosin is an Award winning piece of film making that is a must have for any military veteran, history buff, education program, or true blood American.

Excellent Documentary
Chosin is an excellent documentary that provides insight into the Korean War from the perspective of the brave men who were at the Chosin Reservoir. It is difficult to imagine the conditions under which this war was fought. The documentary captures the essence of the experience without being overly graphic. The Korean war is barely mentioned in most history courses. I highly recommend this documentary for teenagers and adults.

CHOSIN...review
This movie is intense! As any good documentary should be.. This film took an event that I had previously never heard of and made me understand it better than any other event in history. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a genuine film.
