I have been trying to locate a BBC/Timewatch TV documentary on American atrocities during the Korean War; the title is "Kill 'em All". The only thing I can find is that it was made by the Timewatch division of the BBC. Am trying to find out if it's available for purchase but am having no luck. |

Thank you very much for accepting this information as your answer! I have reposted the material below. ====================================================================== Discovery Channel Asia lists this film on its schedule for September 28: "Tuesday, 28 September.. 07:00 - Kill 'em All: American War Crimes In Korea" Discovery Channel Asia: Tuesday, 28 September http://discoverychannelasia.com/_listings/index.shtml?channel_code=DCSE&schedule_date=20040928&language_code=ENG ====================================================================== The film can be obtained for viewing through this "lending library" for a small fee: "New Videos for Loan Call Us at 617-497-5273 Requested Donations for private viewing: $2 per day Requested Donations for Public showings: Donation A: $10-$15 Donation Al, A2 & B: $15-$20 plus shipping You may order via our on line order form...

However, new DVD titles are being introduced at a very rapid rate (about 25 new titles enter the market each day). It seems likely that, given the relevance of the subject matter to current affairs, the program may be released on DVD and/or VHS at some point. ====================================================================== My strategy in locating the information posted above began with a quest for the exact title of the film, using this Google search string: Google Web Search: "kill 'em all" korea documentary ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22kill+%27em+all%22+korea+documentary Once I had the full title, I used it in a second search string: Google Web Search: "kill 'em all american war crimes in korea" ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22kill+%27em+all+american+war+crimes+in+korea ====================================================================== It is my hope that this information will lead your friend to view Google Answers as a valuable resource.

You could ask the BBC, i.e. "bbc.co.uk/history feedback form". A link "Contact Us" is on the webpage http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/programmes/timewatch/index.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/feedback/ 'Kill 'em All': American Military Conduct in the Korean War By Lee Williams http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/war/coldwar/korea_usa_01.shtml Apparently broadcast on Friday February 1st, 2002: http://www.rcpbml.org.uk/wdie-02/d02-23.htm |

The film can be obtained for viewing through this "lending library" for a small fee: ?Kill ?em All? : American War Crimes in Korea video 2001 49 mins. Painful presentation of the 1950 US attacks on groups of S. Korean refugee civilians who were feared as harboring N. Korean troops. After an exhaustive 1999 news investigation forcing a 2001 Congressional Hearing, the Pentagon finally acknowledged one incident. (S. Korea reports 61), but it took no responsibility for the deliberate attacks. There is testimony of both aging American soldiers with clear memories, and S Korean survivors who describe the massacres in agonizing detail. Survivors have been campaigning since 1960 for an American apology and compensation. Information does not present a broad history of the war. US documents present army orders, and how the US army in Japan was ill prepared and poorly trained for war. Also commentary on the terrible character of army leadership. Footage, testimonies tell the story, as well as poetic photography with aching soloists singing in the background. Age level: high school to adult. http://www.afsc.org/newengland/bigcat/new.htm |
