| Special Screening at Symphony Space: Chosin |
In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Korean War, The Korea Society presents a special screening of Chosin, a documentary film that preserves the personal stories of veterans who survived the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. In the harsh winter of 1950, numerically inferior American forces found themselves surrounded by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. In addition to the enemy, the Americans battled the rugged Korean terrain and arctic conditions to break out of the encirclement and escort approximately 91,000 refugees to safety. For their actions, American servicemen received 14 Medals of Honor and 70 Navy Crosses (more than were awarded for the Battle of Iwo Jima). Chosin will be the first documentary film to tell their remarkable story.Wednesday, 9 June 2010 6:30 PM Screening 8:00 PM Q&A with Director Special Screening at ![]() 2537 Broadway New York, NY 10025 www.symphonyspace.org Chosin 2010, 85 mins Director: Brian Iglesias Documentary Best Documentary feature award at GI Film Festival 2010 For more information, please contact Yuni Cho or 212-759-7525, ext. 323. |
