Helicopters shoot at Columbian guerrillas

In May last year a French journalist embedded with Columbian military finds himself in a fire fight. A helicopter is unable to land to extract them and even with a minigun fails to stop guerrillas overrunning their position and capturing him.
This video has a compelling clarity and perspective.
