1. Shot List # Credit Roll 8 (0 min 0 sec, August 6 filming). U.S. forces vehicles bearing Red Cross flags arrive in a convoy at the dock near the Geoje POW camp, waiting to transport the American, International, and Communist Red Cross teams expected shortly. The vessel AKL-31 then arrives at the dock, where dockworkers secure the ship and U.S. forces personnel line up to receive the delegates. # Credit Roll 9 (1 min 13 sec, August 6 filming). Red Cross team members disembark from the ship one by one. Having descended with various pieces of luggage, they gather on the dock to converse or load their belongings onto jeep vehicles. # Credit Roll 9 (2 min 22 sec, August 6 filming). Delegates move toward vehicles or wait in turn while chatting. Maj. Henry L. Lee converses with one of the delegates in front of a barracks. Communist delegation members exchange words with International Red Cross personnel. # Credit Roll 24 (3 min 59 sec, August 9 filming). At the Geoje POW camp, a U.S. sergeant and a corporal inspect gloves, gas masks, and other equipment piled in bulk — presumed to be items used and discarded by prisoners of war. They pick up each item to examine its condition. # Credit Roll 25 (4 min 41 sec, August 9 filming). Continuing from the previous scene, two soldiers keep sorting through the piled items. A cloth blindfold is visible among the objects. # Credit Roll 20 (4 min 41 sec, August 6 filming). Barracks intended for Red Cross personnel are shown from various angles. According to the caption, these barracks were to be used by the Communist delegation during the POW exchange. # Credit Roll 21 (6 min 14 sec, August 6 filming). A bus carrying the Red Cross delegation arrives in a convoy alongside jeep vehicles flying Red Cross flags. Personnel disembark from the bus and look around. A UN representative and a Communist representative walk together. # Credit Roll 22 (7 min 20 sec, August 6 filming). Women delegates of the Red Cross delegation are shown. Two women delegates are accompanied by a female staff member who appears to serve as an interpreter. According to the caption, the U.S. forces figure speaking with them is WOJG Leonard B. Cox. The scene shifts to Barracks 12-F, where blankets are being burned, watched by several women. # Credit Roll 22 (8 min 26 sec, August 6 filming). A long shot shows smoke rising within the POW camp — the smoke is identified as tear gas. This is followed by a view of prisoners of war sitting in rows behind barbed wire. The caption states that gas was deployed because the prisoners refused to lower the flag they were waving. The scene then shows U.S. forces prisoners of war wearing gas masks during the operation, holding North Korean flags. Gas continues to be deployed and the prisoners gradually retreat under its pressure. North Korean flags are collected one by one. A sign for Barracks 3-F was filmed.
