Panthera Productions teams
up with Bush Fire Films to tell the amazing personal stories
behind some of the bravest acts in six "Forgotten Wars."
The series will feature rarely seen archive footage, some
from the personal collections of the men who fought in
these wars, as well as return journeys to the remote jungles,
deserts, and villages where these soldiers shed their
own blood... face-to-face encounters between former enemies
that once tried to annihilate each other.
There has been a great deal of coverage recently of major
military conflicts. Stories of war in Korea, Vietnam and
the Gulf have whet the public's appetite for the lesser
known, if not forgotten, "Small Wars" since
1945 - what the British call "Brush Fire Wars"
and the French "Empire Wars". Forgotten Wars
looks at the personal side of these conflicts. The veterans
who fought and suffered in these wars tell their stories,
as they return to the battlegrounds where blood was shed.
These emotional journeys allow the viewer to experience
the tragedy, fear and humor that the veterans experienced
as young soldiers. Returning them to those places where
their own blood was shed will inevitably be an extremely
personal and emotional experience for them all. Forgotten
Wars reflects this idea, relying heavily on first-person
accounts from the men who were in the frontline.
