Director Heather Courtney's emotional and engrossing portrait of America's bravest.
November 10, 2011 | Full Review… -
A work that's less urgent and involving than its intense subject matter might have dictated.
October 7, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… -
Courtney avoids all political posturing here, something rare in modern war documentaries. These are the guys, American kids. This is the war, it's awful. And this is what happens. In your own backyard.
September 30, 2011 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… -
The documentary sometimes feels like the work of a filmmaker who began with a preconceived story and wasn't quite sure what to do with the one she actually got.
September 15, 2011 | Full Review… -
In its compassionate, modest gaze, the real cost of distant political decisions is softly illuminated, as well as the shame of a country with little to offer its less fortunate young people than a ticket to a battlefield.
September 9, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 -
To see these children of waitresses, salon workers and fathers on disability burdened because they stepped up is humanizing and heartbreaking.

Dec 14, 2012Heather Courtney has the best of intentions, but her bias is unabashedly evident.Randy T Super Reviewer

Sep 03, 2011Moving and insightful doc follows a group of childhood friends from Michigan who join the National Guard and are deployed to Afghanistan. No grand political statements here, no melodrama or manipulation, just a simple and haunting portrait of friends in war, and a powerful portrait of its damaging effects upon their return.Matthew L Super Reviewer
