The Story:

Outnumbered and trapped in the frozen hills of North Korea, US Marines and Soldiers fight their way to freedom in one of the most decorated battles in American History.

The Chosin Few is a documentary film about the amazing true story of the 1^st Marine Division’s fight for survival against hordes of communist Chinese forces in the frozen mountains of North Korea in the winter of 1950. Outnumbered, cut off behind enemy lines, and nearly overwhelmed by unceasing human wave attacks, the Marines fought their way to the sea in what is regarded as the most remarkable military feat of the 20^th Century. Seventeen Medals of Honor and 70 Navy Crosses were awarded to the heroes of this campaign.

In October of 1950, General MacArthur ordered the 1st Marine Division to march to the Yalu River on the North Korean/Chinese border. This force of approximately 12,000 brave fighting men was strung out along 80 miles of frozen, mountainous terrain. China covertly infiltrated North Korea and soon the Marines found themselves surrounded by over 60,000 Communist Chinese soldiers. For 14 days, the Marines miraculously fought their way to safety through the frozen mountains and subzero temperatures, taking their dead and wounded with them through the onslaught of unceasing Chinese attacks. They suffered over 4,000 killed or wounded but still managed to extract over 25,000 causalities from the enemy. This is an epic tale of terror and triumph that has been quietly tucked away in American history - until now.
