Kokoda - Stars William McInnes

Set in Papua New Guinea in 1942, Kokoda is based on the true story of survival of a small band of untrained and inexperienced ‘chocolate soldiers’ who were set out to patrol a village on the Kokoda track.

After sustained bombardment and initial attacks from the Japanese, the men are cut off from their supply lines and all communications. Isolated in the jungle behind enemy lines, they must make their way back through the most unforgiving terrain on earth to get to safety and the main body of Australian troops. Allegiances form, strengths and weaknesses emerge, and leadership battles threaten to destroy the group, as the going gets tougher and tougher.

Kokoda is in Cinemas April 20th.
