About the current war in Afghanistan? I see a couple firefight videos on youtube and stuff, but is there any good documentaries on the Afghanistan war that focuses on our soldiers?

Cheers.
 
There was one in three parts about 4 or 5 years ago about the first months we were there. "Canadians in Afghanistan" I think it was called. Not exactly current, but still good.
 
The Fifth Estate had a special "Life and Death in Kandahar" about the Role 3 Hospital last year...it was pretty good.

Apparently there is a documentary in postpreduction now called "At War" about Afghanistan with footage from 1PPCLI. There was recently a news piece on it (CBC maybe?) where it was touted as a documentary to let Canadians know that we are at war and not in a peacekeeping role anymore. I think a lot of the youtube Red Devils footage is from this documentary.
 
"At War" has a fair amount of Canadian content, but it spends as much time, if not moreso, with US units - namely a unit from the Oregon Natl Guard.  Regardless, it's pretty good - though the sappy, repetitive quotes it throws at you are absolutely terrible.  I'm pretty sure they're Kesterson's own quotes too.
 
Here's some shameless self-promotion one.  :p

Storytime?  ??? 
Did you moon the camera during the shooting of an episode or something?
