Canadian Forces - Afghanistan - The Other War - Part 1/3 -

Kiley travels with a battle-hardened Canadian unit stationed in Taliban territory in the south near the city of Kandahar. Their task is to provide humanitarian aid to local villages. Rather than showing the usual ground flashes of aerial bombings or chaos in city streets following a car bomb attack, Kiley's film is an unfiltered and often painstaking look at the other realities of war: solitary mortar fire into a barren mountainside at a seemingly faceless enemy; winning the trust of the Afghan people one mud-brick village at a time; and the futility and frustrations that often come with these encounters. And at a higher level, he shows how NATO is responding to criticism from the Afghan and international media about its perceived slow progress in stabilizing a country that has known nothing but conflict for the past 30 years.
