Behind Enemy Lines - Najibullah Quraishi

Finally an authentic film about Afghanistan or Iraq. Rather than a soldier-glorifying 'noble US military struggling to save ungrateful towelheads' routine (see, or rather don't, Katherine Bigelow and the Hurt Locker et al.). To hell with Hollywood war porn. This film, winner of the Rory Peck Trust Award, is about real war, including that against foreign occupations.

  1. They will try and try again until they get it right.
    They will not surrender their land.
    Just as you or I would not surrender our lands.
