This moving documentary presents the violent and savage experiences of the Australian and Japanese soldiers forged in the dense jungles of Papua New Guinea in WW11. The Kokoda Campaign was a war without mercy, the scene of one of the most brutal conflicts in Australian history. The battle was a decisive Australian victory, a victory that delivered Australia from Japanese encirclement and possible occupation. Through new interviews with Australian and Japanese soldiers and airmen, the 2-hour special tells the story of the men caught in this battle and shows how they reconcile their shared history over sixty years.
