Chosin

Plot Summary

In the winter of 1950, 15,000 US Soldiers and Marines, trapped and outnumbered 10 to 1, fought 78 miles to freedom and saved the lives of 98,000 refugees. The history books will tell you about the generals, the politicians, and the casualty counts... but what was it like to graduate from high school and be thrust into combat described as more intense and terrifying than the horrors experienced by the marines on Iwo Jima? After 60 years of silence, the survivors of the Chosin Reservoir Campaign take us on a heart pounding journey through one of the most savage and most highly decorated battles in American history. Emotionally- charged, visceral and unrelenting, Chosin gives insight into the human side of war like no other documentary and will leave you asking, “How can these heroes have been forgotten?”
