Documentary trailer: The forgotten War

 

 

Extraordinary documentary film about the US bombing war on Korea released today at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea.

The Korean war was the precursor to the Vietnam war--massive use of napalm, unbridled slaughter of civilians and refugees, free-fire zones, and a genocidal level of carpet bombing: Curtis LeMay, the head of Strategic Air Command during the Korean War, claims the US "killed off 20% of the population". 

 

This film tells that story through historic archival footage and survivor testimony voice-over.

Essential to watch in order to make sense of current North Korea-US relations, North-South relations in general, and the current historic moment.
