Outstanding documentary about the wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan, with in-depth reports from the military battlefields in Helmand Province to the political dealmaking in Kabul and Islamabad. This hour-long video is well worth watching in it entirety, because its factual, gripping footage of U.S. soldiers putting their lives on the line to fight the Taliban - combined with candid interviews with Afghani citizens and key players in this tragic conflict. Informative, insightful and important report.
