Re: AT WAR
Documentary Movie
Canadian Soldier's shown 'in action'
by Scott Kesterson


Q:  Has anyone seen this documentary movie? 

Q: Who is interested in seeing this movie? 

Q: Thoughts???

Q: Does anyone have any personal reviews of this movie?


From what I have read online, the movie has been released in the U.S., but he is having a tough time getting it released in Canada (not sure why???).  Those who have seen the movie give it top notch reviews (from what I have read, so far, online). 

I would definitely like to see the movie.

I have not seen it but would be interested in getting a copy. Do you know where I could buy it? I currently live in the US but am flying to swear into the Canadian Army July 2nd and start BMQ on the July 6th. If I could get this mailed to my house I'd have my wife pack it so when we move I will have it.

I did get a copy of WAGING PEACE: CANADA IN AFGHANISTAN from http://www.wagingpeacefilm.com
This is an awesome movie and I'm please at how it presented our men and women and their mission. It made me proud and hope that one day I get to follow in their footsteps.

I went on the AT WAR website but there is no purchase info.
