The U.S. military has been at war in Afghanistan for more than 17 years.
“Combat Obscura,” a new documentary out today offers a rare
behind-the-scenes look of that war, mixing combat footage with
glimpses of the more mundane daily efforts by young American men
and women to make sense of a complex culture and discern combatants
from civilians.
The U.S. is finally trying to end the war in Afghanistan and is
engaged in talks with the Taliban to do so, but watching this
footage from 2011 makes you realize the U.S. probably should have
done that a long time ago.
This week on Wake we’ll talk to director Miles
Lagoze about his life, his new film and how little
Americans know about what the U.S. military is up to overseas.
