It's very good. Engaging and powerful

This is how the Dunkirk story should be told: by the veterans who survived. It's an arresting snapshot into the lives of soldiers who went to fight in Europe and ended up stranded in Dunkirk. Many of them lied about their young ages to enlist. I really enjoyed their vivid stories. There's plenty of genuine Dunkirk war film-footage used as a support throughout.It's packed with interviews of the day-to-day experiences of the veterans, who tell of the horrors of war, their attitudes to the conflict, how they ate and formed friendships, and hopes for the future. The humility of the veterans represent a generation forever changed by the destruction of war, but the documentary also has some unexpected humour. Sometimes the understatement of a hero says it all.One of the few civilians evacuated tells her story. A schoolgirl, stranded alongside the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, "It was hell on earth. I was only nine, but it is something you can't forget."Conclusion: I found it outstanding, definitely more than just for the average history buff or WWII junkie.

Prepare for an emotional rush!

Excellent! I had never heard of it but caught this gem by chance. I hesitated to watch due to the description. I wasn't sure I could stomach it. I'm so glad I did. I highly recommend watching this!
