Kokoda is a 2006 Australian war movie directed by Alister Grierson. New Guinea, 1942, Australia is at war with Japan. A small Australian group of the 39th Battalion is in the vicinity of Kokoda as an advance guard. After fierce fighting, they are completely on their own, with no communications, no outside, and no supplies. Isolated far behind enemy lines, they must make their way back. Through the dangerous jungle, without food, weakened by malaria and nasty wounds, always ready to face the enemy.
A documentary mini-series with the same name was released in 2010.
The following weapons were used in the film Kokoda:
Burke (Luke Ford) carries the M1928A1 Thompson as his main weapon with 20 round magazines, to which he has difficulty maintaining, resulting in frequent jammings.
Darko (Travis McMahon) and Blue (Christopher Baker) are the Bren Gunners for the Platoon. Australian soldiers can be seen with the Bren gun at their base, and later firing their machine guns during the final battle.
