“It’s about the Battle of Rezang La which took place on a mountain pass in the Himalayas in the early 1960s when the Chinese army betrayed India. It follows the story of 120 brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives to keep thousands of Chinese soldiers out of their country. . . Most Americans don’t have a clue about this. You might think of it as having a similar place in U.S. popular memory to the Battle of the Alamo.”
