Beyond KOKODA DVD
The Battle for KOKODA is well entrenched as an iconic Australian WW2 campaign. I thoroughly recommend this History Channel documentary.
You will find that this program is one that you will want to collect and replay over the years. I say this as 'Beyond KOKODA' has a tremendous amount of veteran interviews and information on a day-to-day chronological basis.
Importantly, it is the 1st program which allots as much to Japanese veteran interviews as Australian.
The Japanese veterans being consulted includes The Bone Man Of KOKODA, Kokichi Nisimura 144th Regiment, who of recent times has had a book written about his exploits during the war and after.
The program utilizes important archival film taken at the time by Australian cameraman Damien Parer, up-to-date computer graphical animated 3-D maps and dramatised portrayal of historical events.
Beyond KOKODA provides a unique and balance look at the brutal struggle that lasted from July 1942 to February 1943.
The men, Their struggle, Their units the 39th Battalion Militia, the Australian Battalions of the AIF and the corresponding Japanese forces.
This conflict was a crucial part of what many now call the Battle for Australia.
