The Untold Story of Unsung Heroes

ABOUT THE MOVIE

THE UNTOLD STORY OF UNSUNG HEROES

The riveting journey of New Zealand soldiers as they land unarmed into the heat of a 10 year civil war using only the weapons of Music, Maori Culture and Love to create peace. This radical idea of sending soldiers without guns was condemned by the media because they felt the soldiers would be massacred given the first 14 peace attempts had failed.
