FILE - In this January 1954 file photo, three Americans who refused repatriation, take a smoke break outside the peace hut at Panmunjom, Korea. They were among 21 U.S. prisoners of war who refused to come home after the Korean War. The new PBS documentary "KOREA: The Never-Ending War" examines the lasting social and political costs of the Korean War _ a conflict largely forgotten in the U.S.
Filmmaker John Maggio said he wanted to create something that wasn’t focused on solely on views of ambassadors and historians but real people affected by the war. In addition, he wanted his project to explain why tensions between North and South Korea remain nearly 70 years after a series of diplomatic blunders and violent massacres.
“North Korea was completely flattened,” Terry said. “China gets involved and Mao Zedong lost his own son.” For example, an investigation team, led by former Associated Press correspondent Charles Hanley, later uncovered atrocities committed by U.S. troops against helpless South Korean refugees during the early days of the war. The AP spent months tracing veterans in some 130 interviews by telephone and in person and a dozen former G.I.’s spoke out to document a massacre under a bridge near No Gun Ri that claimed the lives of hundreds of people.
