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.

Mr. Boettcher knew those men, puts faces to their names. As he says, every soldier's story is different, and they all bear telling. Full Review

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.
