From the corridors of power to the blood-stained battlefields of the Papua New Guinea highlands, Kokoda tells the story of the brutal World War II military campaign between Australia and Japan that changed the course of Australian history. The Japanese had entered the war and moved relentlessly towards Australia conquering all the nations in their path, almost at will. They had to be stopped somewhere. For the first time in the mountains of Papua New Guinea they saw resistance, serious resistance the likes of which they had never experienced before. To tell the story with authenticity, the Kokoda film crew walked and filmed the length of the Kokoda Track...and the green hell of the Owen Stanley Mountains.
