Embedded within the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, two journalists film the 15-month deployment in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan, an area of extremely heavy fighting. The footage is raw, the stories compelling, and the filmmakers almost entirely hands off. A warning: this film contains footage of deaths of both soldiers and civilians.
