“The Forgotten War” is an independent film produced by Smoke and Mirrors Entertainment about the Filipinos’ participation in the Korean War. It is directed by Carlo Cruz, the son of the Philippines’ Ambassador to Korea Luis Cruz.
The movie will have a premiere showing in Korea sponsored by the Philippine Embassy in support the 60th anniversary of Filipino-Korean relations. It will be held on April 12, Easter Sunday at the Tongsong Auditorium in Hyehwa-dong. There will be a mass at 11AM to be held before the showing. A special screening will also be held at the “Dal Orum” (Moon Hall) of the National Theatre of Korea at the foot of Mt. Nam (Namsan) on April 14 at 6PM.
The movie stars our “cabalen” Baron Geisler with support from Kyla Lapus, Lance Raymundo and Yul Servo. I’m hoping for a successful showing (and more information from the Philippine Embassy about the “One Philippines” event please!)

JOnass last blog post..Lian Neeson and Ralph Fiennes will star in Clash of the Titans!
The “Forgotten War” is a poignant epic which shows how freedom-loving Filipinos are willing to sacrifice their lives in service for others (Koreans). It captured the true heroism of our Filipino soldiers. The memory of the war may be in vain but the spirit of patriotism lives on. Filipinos and Koreans shed blood to uphold a commmon ideal – Democracy! A price they paid to pay for our freedom today.
omg… more power to lance raymundo..

I was at the gala premiere of “The Forgotten War” at the CCP Little Theater last June 9th, and former president FVR (played in the film by Arnold Reyes) was there. Nice story, good camera work. Yul Servo’s acting is always good to watch. He’s a natural. The film will also be screened during Cinemalaya they said.

Hi everyone (and to the Director), I’d like to know where I can buy a DVD of the movie on-line.. I live outside the Philippines.. so I don’t have the luxury to buy it in person.. P.S. no torrents please.. I prefer “actual”/original copy not pirated.. thanks!
is there any link for us to watch the movie? this must be shared to every filipino in order for the future generation to know the sacrifices of our fathers for the cause of freedom..
