Los Angeles Times

Product Description:
Han is an editor and writer in Korea who served with the South Korean Army in a special unit fighting with American troops in the Vietnam War. Han has been unable to put the horrors of war behind him and leads a disconnected life, but the reappearance of a fellow soldier forces Han to relive a hellish mission behind enemy lines. WHITE BADGE is a haunting war movie that tells its story from a unique perspective, with echoes of APOCALYPSE NOW and FULL METAL JACKET.

As the leader of a behind enemy lines Korean infantry unit fighting alongside the American allies, Han feels responsible for death and carnage his unit suffered at the hands of one of their own.
