The moving documentary The Hornet's Nest is a boots-on-the-ground look at America's war in Afghanistan.

At once immersive and apolitical, THE HORNET'S NEST offers a vivid up-close look at the carnage and chaos that define the day-to-day life -- and death -- of U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan.
Variety
Mr. Boettcher knew those men, puts faces to their names. As he says, every soldier's story is different, and they all bear telling.

Great live action footage fails to make up for poor narration and organization.

As clear-eyed a portrait of modern warfare as you're likely to see.

The result isn't as cumulatively powerful as intended, but it remains politically even-handed and offers some immersive insight along the front lines.

The Hornet's Nest is exactly the version of the military that the military wants people to see, which means all its earnestness can't help but feel calculated.

Product Description:
David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud's documentary THE HORNET'S NEST is comprised primarily of footage taken by father and son reporters who were embedded with American soldiers serving in Afghanistan. They were expecting to film a fairly straightforward raid, but the daylong activity turned into a grueling encounter that lasted over a week.
