The story of our soldiers on patrol duty in the Demilitarized Zone of Korea: THE BIG PICTURE to present, \"The Guns Are Silent ...,\" Korean truce documentary -- This week's THE BIG PICTURE program, second in the new fall series, is titled \"The Guns are Silent.\" American viewers will get a chance to see for themselves the story of our soldiers on patrol duty in the Demilitarized Zone of Korea, in this latest in the Army-produced series for TV. Korea is still a front-line area, though the guns are silent. This truce-line documentary was filmed in the Korean Sector which is patrolled by soldiers day and night, through summer and winter. In this zone, the patrols of the Army act as eyes for all U.S. forces in Korea. The mission is grim and serious - anything may happen at any time -and when and if it does - the troops whom you see in this program must spot that first false move. The patrols must report in by radio every half hour as they guard a boundary line marked by 1,092 signs printed in both English and Korean. This program is the story of one of these patrols as it makes its way along the border. THE BIG PICTURE's camera will probe beneath the surface activities of men in an alien land and bring U.S. viewers a graphic accounting of what it is like to be on duty in defense of freedom. \"The Guns are Silent\" is the story of men and the elements, men and their weapons, men and a potential aggressor force, but most of all, it is the story of American soldiers on duty at the very edge of the free world, on their guard at all times. The program serves as a timely reminder that what once happened in Korea must not happen again.","licenseurl":"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/","collections":["FedFlix","usgovfilms","newsandpublicaffairs"],"ia_metadata":{"_rg":"111","title":"Big Picture: The Guns Are Silent","creator":"National Archives and Records Administration","credits":"Uploaded by Public.Resource.Org","subject":["archives.gov","public.resource.org"],"_rg_holder":["Office of the Chief Signal Officer, Army Signal Corps","federal"],"collection":["FedFlix","usgovfilms","newsandpublicaffairs"],"identifier":"gov.archives.arc.2569607","licenseurl":"http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/","description":"National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569607 / Local Identifier 111-TV-338 Big Picture: The Guns Are Silent DVD Copied by IASL Master Scanner Liz Pruszko.
