Kore Savaşı, Türkiye’nin sosyal hayatında derin izler
bırakan bir olgudur. Genel tarih yazımında fazla yer verilmemesine karşın,
savaşa katılanların sözlü anlatıları yoluyla toplumsal hafızada önemli bir yer
edinmiştir.
Konuyla ilgili yapılan belgesel çalışmalar sınırlı
sayıdadır. Bu çalışmalar da genellikle savaşın yıldönümleri dolayısıyla ve
geleneksel belgesel anlatım formatıyla hazırlanmışlardır. Tanıklıklar yoluyla
savaşı ve cephe gerisini anlatan belgeseller ise yok denecek kadar azdır. Oysa
sözlü tarih yöntemiyle hazırlanan belgeseller, genel tarih yazımına katkıda
bulunma ve tarihi yaşayan bir nesne haline getirme niteliğine sahiptirler.
Korean
War has become a historical phenomenon
with deep traces on the social life in Turkey. Although formal history writing
in this country does not attribute much about this topic, oral narratives of
veterans have had solid effects on the social memory. Yet there have been very
few documentary films concerning this evidence. And most of these films were
just prepared for anniversary purposes, bearing traditional documentary style
interviews. There are almost no documentaries about Korean War with testimonies
about the background of the battlefield.
It is
doubtless that documentaries prepared through oral history methods are very
important and they contribute a lot to the writing of general history and thus
history becomes a living object. “The Distinguished Army: The Last Witnesses of
the Korean War” will be filling an important gap in this sense.
Through various events and testimonials, this
documentary will reveal hitherto unknown role of Turkish soldiers in the war
and it also shed light on how public opinion of the Korean war was shaped then.
