...specifically 1st Brigade, during our deployment to Kunar, Afghanistan, in 2010-2011. It focuses on a particularly violent operation right at the end of the deployment, of which a sister-unit of the one I was in was the main fighting force, but ended up dragging in assets and elements from everywhere.

It's called "The Hornet's Nest." Here's the trailer for it on Youtube:

Also, here's a news report by the same journalists that was aired about the same operation:

Just an update on this. It's likely going to start screening next month and should be more widely distributed not too long after. I've heard it's well put together.
