Remembering in Film

I was very impressed by the documentary production entitled "The Phoenix" from Grand Island Films. (Update: sorry, it seems that this link is no longer public.  I hope it becomes available again). This representation of the Battle of Cassino is based on the history of the Benedictine abbey on Monte Cassino, and begins with the ancient Egyptian story of the Phoenix.

It is refreshing to see an informative documentary which is clear, balanced, and talks about history without creating heroes.   There are no winners in war.
