Further to the remarks of another reviewer, this movie is not without its flaws but, on the whole, it makes for a fantastic insight into what I try to accomplish (from an educational sense) each time I lead a trek on the Kokoda Track.
As the owner of a small business specialising in treks to the Kokoda Track, I pride myself - as well as the rest of our team - on educating those that make the effort to walk such a sacred trail about the Kokoda campaign.
It's difficult to display the overwhelming sensation I often see when our groups gain a slight understanding of what Australian soldiers had to endure.
Let's be clear and say that this is a film, however for what it is - the movie definitely portrays life as an Australian soldier during this horrendous period and provides a small insight into what they had to endure.
I applaud the film-makers for what they have achieved with this film and will be recommending it to all Getaway Trekking hikers along the Kokoda Track.
