Fascinating story of 22 US POWs, who, at the end of the Korean War, opted not to return to the good old US of A but instead held fast in their beliefs about peace and ended up living in China. The Academy Award-nominated director of this movie, Shui-Bo Wang, met one of these peace soldiers when he was a little boy and finally managed (after a 10 year struggle) to bring their - in the West at least - forgotten story to life. One of those excellent documentaries that tells a seemingly unbelieveable story. I wonder how many Americans even knew of this chapter in their history?
My rating 10 out of 10.
