Lest We Forget.

Brilliant documentary of a battle during the Vietnam War. More documentaries should be made like this. The survivors and participants telling the story without any grandiose glorification of war or the battle. I was transfixed and very moved. Thoroughly recommend this documentary. Lest We Forget.
