Cracking film, true story - The Siege of Jadotville

[Erimus74]

Very similar to Zulu, totally outnumbered a UN Irish commander & his battalion of 150 men withstand a siege by 3,000 Congolese troops led by French & Belgian mercenaries working for mining corporations

Jamie Dornan & Mark Strong are a the cast

Watched that a couple of weeks ago Erimus on Netflix and really enjoyed it
If you liked that you will enjoy Danger Close (The Battle of Long Tan) and SandCastle....both also based on true war stories on Netflix....

Watched it a year ago great movie. There is another on Netflix about a siege on, as I recall, an embassy or an out post and mercenaries defended it for 24 hours. Its also a true story. Brilliant watch. One of the mercs loses his arm. Not sure what it is called.
