Legion of Brothers

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Greg Barker (Manhunt, 2013 Sundance Film Festival premiere), this film expertly reveals the unexplored story of how, immediately after the September 11 attacks, the United States government initiated a secret war in Afghanistan with fewer than a hundred Special Forces troops, building a coalition with the rebels of the Northern Alliance. They collectively faced off against the Taliban and succeeded in driving them out of power by the end of the year - with minimal coalition casualties and without conventional, large-scale military operations. Despite this victory, the U.S. and its allies soon became mired in a seemingly never-ending war.
