Scaradh Katanga - a two parter, originally aired in 2012. Excellent insight into the Irish UN peace keepers and the siege in Katanga. A bit of history I didn't know much about, excellent documentary.

Fascinating indeed, I saw it too. There are a couple of books on the subject if you would like more depth. I read the Rose Doyle one and found it good. That and other books are referenced here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jadotville
