Chosin - Brian Iglesias
In the winter of 1950, 15,000 U.S. soldiers and marines, trapped and outnumbered, fought to save the lives of 98,000 refugees.  History books will tell you about the generals, the politicians, and the casualty counts from what came to be known as the Chosin Reservoir Campaign…but what was it like to be thrust into a 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 Chosin remember one of the most savage and highly-decorated battles in American history. Emotionally-charged, visceral, and unrelenting, Chosin will leave you asking, “How can these brave soldiers have been forgotten?” 2010; 85 min. With an in-person appearance by director Brian Iglesias!
