| Another worth mentioning, also historical, but so gut-wrenching I can

| Australian-Japanese team. It documents both the combat story of a
| deep-raiding Australian unit, and then how both sides are unwillingly
| caught up in the highest traditions of their own cultures. It's classic
| tragedy worthy of any of the Greek masters.

| to be based upon factual events?
