Review of The Hornet's Nest (2014) by Julie P — 16 Nov 2014
This documentary drops the audience into the heart of battle in Afghanistan. It does a superb job of illustrating the unconditional camaraderie the men and women of the military have for each other. They are committed to each other and to their mission. Their level of dedication is unmatched. They are heroes.
No questions are raised about the necessity or rational for this war. It is not about why we are there, what we are trying to achieve there or whether we should be there. These are questions for our leaders and are intentionally omitted.
This is a documentary about the sacrifice so few dare to give for this country. It is a mere glimpse of the tie that binds these heroes. It makes you question whether you could have this level of allegiance to your country. It should make you grateful for the freedoms you have every day. And, it should make you reflect on whether you could be doing more to uphold them, appreciate them and/or protect them.
