It shows how one private poor decision can take a life of its own, and how the media and the military don't always get things right. ” – France24 May 7, 2024 Full Review Bushman (1971) 100% “This is a truly special time capsule awash and still pertinent in aspects that society needs to improve after almost 50 years [since] it was shot.
