Bruce Kesler features former POW Mike Benge's review of "Rescue Dawn:"

If I were inclined to have nightmares, "Rescue Dawn" would have given me some bad ones; luckily I'm not. I wasn't a pilot like Dieter Dengler; but I shared similar experiences as a civilian POW. For once, Hollywood got it right thanks to Herzog who captured the blood, sweat, tears, fear, emotions, hunger, the steaming and unrelenting jungle, and the fragility of man under the degrading and filthy conditions of POWs in the jungle camps of Indochina.

Between this endorsement and Herzog's impressive curriculum vitae, it sounds like a must-see.
