Trivia

Mike and Carlos Boettcher originally did not want their journey to be part of the film. They only wanted to tell the stories of the Army, Marine, Air Force and Navy units they were embedded with for almost two years. They were the only father-son conflict journalist team to ever do this type of long term embedded in a war zone and became the only father-son team to win two Emmys for the work that is the basis of part of the film. The Co-Directors David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud convinced them their story and journey was critical to the heart of the story. See more
