Its difficult to explain the full relevance of this powerful drama/documentary style movie. Yes it covers a battle fought many years ago and yes it gives an insight into the attitudes of many different people affected by the event. But it is also well filmed and I am sure highly original at its time of release. However when you prize the underlying arguments and comments from the drama and place them in the context of today and the war in Iraq or for that matter Vietnam, the conclusions, arguments and issues become much more real, more compelling and rather more scary and prophetic. This is a drama/documentary not to be missed and essential viewing for anyone interested in the subjects mentioned above and for its compelling drama.
