This documentary tells the story of the 10th Mountain Division, an elite group of American alpine soldiers who participated in key battles with the Germans during the waning days of World War II. In addition to recounting their wartime heroics by means of archival footage, the filmmakers make contact with the division's alumni, whose members include a running-shoe entrepreneur, a ski resort owner and the head of a large environmental organization.

I have reservations about the filmmakers' theories and I find it hard to believe that these men would want to be characterized this way. Go to Full Review
