SHRAPNEL DOWN: MY KOREAN WAR STORY

TV-PG · 1 × 30 min

Producer: WSIU Public Broadcasting

In 1952, Gunner's Mate Bill Rector was serving on the USS Los Angeles during the height of the Korean War. Using an 8mm camera, Bill documented his war experiences, including battles during the Blockade of Wonsan – the longest naval blockade in modern history. SHRAPNEL DOWN: MY KOREAN WAR STORY shares this never-before-seen war footage, alongside an interview with Bill, to offer a glimpse into the story of one American war veteran, as seen through the lens of his own camera.
