Synopsis: Far From Forgotten

June 25, 2010. During the 60th anniversary of the Korean War, 10 American veterans visited Korea. They are all over eighty years old and are surprised by Korea’s development sixty years on. As they recognize each other’s pain and undergo a catharsis, the trip reveals their Korean War experience which had not surfaced for a long time. This will be their last trip to Korea in their lifetime.
