Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for history and war-film fans and people who love a true story told well. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

After the dissolution of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which was launched as a South Korean government organization in 2005, civic groups and bereaved families wishing to complete the mission the government had failed to accomplish form a joint organization to investigate the remains of civilians who were massacred during the Korean War. A three-year-long documentary about the organization’s three-year-long excavation efforts, 206: Unearthed is a record of sunlight, dirt, and sweat.
