Afghanistan - Taliban Country

Winner of the Walkley Award;
IF Glenfiddich "Independent Spirit Awards" Finalist

Journalist Carmela Baranowska spent three weeks embedded with the marines. She then returned in secret to document what was really happening. It’s a story of prisoners abused and villagers humiliated. This report prompted a US inquiry.

A very fair look at what's going on in Afghanistan. It makes you see all the good Americans are trying to do in a land that doesn't trust them and may or maynot want them there because of the way the U.S. Military operate. Hardly anything ever on the News about Afghanistan other then Americans dying. This documentary shows how beautiful the area is as well. Some good comedy too, Marine talking about the Poppy to an Afghan helping them "When we start our war on drugs, we're not gonna like you anymore." As they stare out at fields of poppy plants.
