On July 2nd, 2009, four thousand US Marines of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade launched a major helicopter assault into a Taliban stronghold. Filmmaker Danfung Dennis joined the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine company 18km behind enemy lines to seize a bridge. Within a few hours the military was in a life-and-death struggle which lasted for 3 days, and took the life of Lance Corporal Charles Sharp, from Adairsville, Georgia. Being a war journalist has got to be one of the scariest jobs on earth and I have to commend him and the US Marines for having the bravery to go into an area that they know will not be safe whatsoever.

“Can the Marines balance their contradictory roles as warriors and statesmen, as they struggle to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people?”
