At War - Afghanistan Documentary
You've all probably seen the clips of Canadian forces in helmand in
major combat. It was filmed by a camera man named Scott Kesterson. He
has a documentary coming out soon that should be of interest to all
here
About the film
Filmmaker Scott Kesterson was 41 when he decided to change his life.
He owned a small construction company in Portland but had never given
up on his dream of being a photojournalist. But as he grew older,
circumstances always had a way of leading him down different
paths.
Then one day, while surfing the web, he came across Pulitzer Prize-
winning photojournalist David Leeson, and decided to contact him.
Within a week, David offered to be a mentor. Six months later Scott
was on a plane to Afghanistan with the Oregon National Guard as an
embedded journalist - finally pursuing his lifelong dream.
AT WAR presents what Scott found with his camera - a whirlwind of
diverse experiences illustrating the chaos of war through the eyes of
U.S., Canadian and Afghan soldiers.
Ultimately, we learn that the only true definition of war lies within
the context of personal experience. AT WAR is an intense journey into
a world of conflict, whether overseas or in our own living rooms.
War is a dichotomy. The narrow bridge linking love and hate, joy and
sorrow, courage and cowardice or honor and shame is an eternal
reminder of the best and worst of ourselves.
AT WAR is an action-packed odyssey as seen from the front lines
through the eyes of soldiers. It features exclusive combat footage and
intriguing conversations with soldiers. It is a voyage into the
realization of dreams, lifelong passions and the facets of war that
are part of all of us.
