January 10th, 1942. Northern Malaya.
In the steaming jungle near the Slim River, a small British platoon waits in silence as a Japanese patrol advances—confident, aggressive, and dismissive of what they believe is an obsolete weapon.
What happens next lasts less than four seconds.
This documentary tells the true-to-life story of a forgotten World War II jungle engagement during the Malayan Campaign, where an “outdated” Lewis light machine gun—a weapon designed before World War I—proved devastatingly effective against Japanese infantry. As British forces retreat across Malaya in early 1942, one gunner’s discipline, training, and understanding of his weapon turns a routine patrol into a lethal ambush that drops 13 men in two short bursts.
