WAGING PEACE: CANADA IN AFGHANISTAN
follows Canadian Richard Fitoussi on a personal quest into the fiercest parts of Afghanistans war-torn southern frontier to learn why Canadian soldiers are dying in a mission that has sparked more controversy than any other military intervention in Canadian history.

Embedded with the Canadian military alongside established war correspondents. Fitoussi sees for himself what is at stake for the Afghan people and the Canadians who serve in our name.

As his journey unfolds, Fitoussi is faced with the realites of modern day peacekeeping, and tries to distinguish between the reality on the ground and the rhetoric of the U.S. led war on terror. In the end he witnesses the ultimate sacrifice of young Canadians in a journey that nearly costs him his life.

You realize that this film is about spreading awarness about Operation Enduring Freedom, right? So that the Canadian public can get a glimpse into the lives of those deployed, so that they can better understand the plight that our troops and Afghanis', as well as other coaltion troops undergo everyday overseas, right? To perhaps remove the stigma behind being a member of CAF whose served overseas... It's not some form of mindless propaganda, it's an awareness/sympathetic film.

Guy makes propaganda video for the government. Too bad about the people (Canadians and Afghanastanis) who died so the guy could make his money and the Canadian government could get its propaganda flick.

Hell of a way to support the troops -- make money off the deaths and the families' misery.

Oh, well it's somebody else's kid, right.

It takes on a whole new meaning when you are embedded with the troops doesnt it Richard. Those four names are no longer just on the news..they are human flesh and blood guys that you were joking with only yesterday...and now they are dead....really changes your prespective doesnt it? WTG Richard..its about time someone tried to "be"...SUPPORT OUR TROOPS...WEAR RED ON FRIDAYS...AND REMEMBER YOUR FREEDOM IS NOT FREE...and thank you.
