Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Just watched this movie on Netflix. Based on a true story about Irish troops sent by the UN on a "peace keeping" mission to the Congo. Got put in a bad spot and abandoned by the UN. Irish gov covered it up, and nobody heard about it. I thought it was a good movie, if you got nothing to do check it out.
Hendo Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I'll agree to the above. I saw it awhile ago and thought it was a very good movie.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Yup.Reminded me a bit of The Guns at Batasi. Troops left on their own with no support and little instructions from higher HQ.
Dutch Coroner Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I enjoyed it. I thought it was well done. Dutch

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I've been seeing it advertised on Netflick for quite sometime but have not watched it. Gonna have to give it a try.
