More Details
- Summary:
- First-time documentarian Stephen Canty, a former Corporal in 1st Battalion, Sixth Marines experienced constant brushes with death during Operation Moshtarak in Marjah, Afghanistan. His unit, Charlie Company, was engaged in some of the heaviest fighting during one of the largest operations of the conflict in Afghanistan. The Marines, some of whom joined the service as young as seventeen, soon became accustomed to both the adrenaline rush and the constant anxiety of combat in hostile territory, along with the imminent strangeness of a world where it seemed that anyone could die at any time. Returning home, the Marines found that the most difficult aspect of the experience was communication. Members of the company soon found themselves isolated from many members of the civilian population, unable (or unwilling) to present honest accounts of their experience to those who could not understand.
