  "Kokoda will sit next to Gallipoli and Changi as incidents and stories that define the way Australians think about themselves." Wil Anderson, comedian “a remarkable feature for so many reasons, not the least of which is the haunting tension that fills every shot of every scene” Colin Fraser, Filmink “Outstanding”, “exhilarating”, “a landmark in Australian cinema” Colin Fraser, Filmink   "a haunting and powerful visualisation of the courage and mate-ship that is forever etched in the national psyche." - Mark Beirne, Your Movies.com “You can smell the blood sweat and terror, feel the wet, oppressive heat and empathise with the bone-deep exhaustion”  4 STARS  - Who Weekly
  New Guinea, 1942.  The battle for the track has begun. A decimated platoon of Australian soldiers from the 39th battalion have been set as a forward patrol far outside the perimeter of Isurava, a village on the Kokoda track. After sustained bombing and lethal 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 perilous terrain on earth to get to the main body of Australian troops.  Allegiances form, strengths and weaknesses emerge, and leadership battles threaten to destroy the group……. After three days with no food or sleep, carrying their wounded, and suffering the effects of dysentery and malaria, they emerge from the jungle exhausted to the point of collapse. But on learning that Isurava is about to fall they pick themselves up and rejoin the battle…
