The Making of Kokoda Front Line

Resumen

Cinesound's Kokoda Front Line is undoubtedly the most famous newsreel made in Australia during the Second World War. The film won an Academy Award and made its cameraman, Damien Parer, a national hero. Despite lines like «the black skinned boys are white», which makes Kokoda Front Line producer Ken G. Hall wince whenever he hears it these days, I think we can all agree that the newsreel is brilliant propaganda.
