Review of The Siege of Jadotville (2016) by Dmerck — 09 Oct 2016

First of all, I wasn't too keen to watch this thinking it would be a typical war drama, as one critic put it. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised because it's much more multi-faceted. For example, it not only includes, the battle scenes and how global politics (the Cold War, the UN) can effect a local population but it also speaks of the role and aspirations of small countries like Ireland that are hoping to be able to do good in global politics through the UN when in the past they lacked the military muscle to have a voice.

This last is probably an angle that people, who live in a country that has power in global politics, would miss.
