In this rare look behind-the-scenes of war-torn Afghanistan, the filmmaker, his cameraman, and their translator,guide find themselves traveling in the middle of a battleground, camera in hand, capturing raw footage and encountering dangerous Taliban fighters. Much of the films footage was held by the U.S. Department of Defense.
