I just finished watching a video that I ordered from International Historic Films about the Gorkhas. It was part of their "Elite Fighting Forces" series. The video was very good and focused on the more modern aspects of the Gorkhas, beginning with World War I -- though it did briefly outline the earlier history, particularly about the origins of the British/Gorkha alliance.
One minor point of interest to me was that in one scene a Gorkha was shown using a khukuri with a highly customized handle and a closed, "eye of the dove" cho.
Anyone wanting further info about the video, please feel free to email me. At $35, it was rather expensive, but worth purchasing for a person wanting to build his Gorkha library.
