I'm watching this on TV right now...thought some others might find this program interesting



"In 1944, as war raged across the globe, an incredible drama unfolded in the remote jungles of Borneo.

I like it!

I also noticed a scene where it showed a young man practice cutting, he only cut from the upper right down to the lower left :D And having been browsing the EAA forums long enough, I think I know why :) - thanks.

Thank you very much!
I just watched the whole movie intense and with deeply respect, but I have one little question:
What where those papoeas from New Guinea doing in Borneo? :rolleyes:

Just finished watching this and it was quite interesting. Could make a very good historical drama don't you think?
Not enough about the mandau in the doc, but i suppose that is only a detail that guys like us want to see. ;) :)
