A journalist gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he is embedded with a small band of American soldiers during the height of the war in Afghanistan. There is a surprise attack and they become separated from their unit. They are trapped in an insurgent bunker and surrounded on all sides by the enemy. During this time, the journalist is able to interview the soldiers and find out who they are individually. Even in the face of war and terror, there is still kindness and hope.
This film is not a documentary and this is pure fiction and totally false. Basically, it is the producer’s personal political views being stated by the fake soldiers? The US Army had very limited operations in Helmand in 2006. It was primarily NATO and the ANA/ANP units with a heavy presence of British soldiers. Also some Gurkha's and Scots. A few US Marines here and there also. In mid 2007, units 6th, 7th and 8th Marines started to heat up. The 10th Mountain and the 101st Airborne were not running regular foot patrols at this time. The actors/soldiers are wearing all kinds of unit patches at the same time. 2* (I didn't like this movie)
