I want to say first, I LOVE these documentaries about the events in the Middle East. And I am VERY pro American/Military.
With that said, this was pretty bad. I got about 15-20 minutes into it and I was so confused... my thoughts were, "what the heck is going on?? Are these stories linked? Are they different stories? What's with the weird effects/editing??" I found it very difficult to know when the narrative changes to a new one. The structure of how this was put together might be the worst I've ever seen. It's almost like one of those "wildest police shootouts" type things. So I came to IMDB to see if I was being unreasonable...nope! 3.7 stars, so it seems others had issues as well.
If you watch this and find yourself kind of lost...you're not alone. I'll admit I gave up around the 20 minute mark...but you likely will too.
