Forgotten Wars That Changed the World (From Korea to Nagorno-Karabakh)

They call it "The Forgotten War." But for the millions who lived and died during the Korean War (1950-1953), it was a defining, brutal struggle that froze a nation in time and set the pattern for the Cold War. Sandwiched between WWII's glory and Vietnam's controversy, Korea faded from public memory—yet its legacy shapes global politics to this day.

In this documentary, we journey into the heart of the Korean conflict. We explore the origins of the war, the massive Chinese intervention, the brutal stalemate, and the haunting aftermath that created a divided peninsula. We also ask: why was this devastating war forgotten? And what are the consequences of that amnesia?

From the Chosin Reservoir to the 38th parallel, this is the full story of the war that never ended.
