"Baker Boys - Inside the Surge is the most accurate, honest and unedited look at what the surge looks like on the ground - from the point of view of, and told in the words of the soldiers fighting there. This series gives a fascinating insight into the counter-insurgency effort in Iraq that is now a blueprint for the escalating effort in Afghanistan. This extraordinary series of events in documented by the world class, award-winning cameraman Jon Steele, who developed an unparalelled trust amongst the soldiers he was filming. Across the series Jon travels with the men of Baker Company into an Al Qaeda hotbed a few kilometres outside of Baghdad, for the last 90 days of their tour of duty. The films follows their mission to secure that region of Iraq until they return home to Fort Benning, Georgia, and then chronicles the war they face once home - post traumatic stress disorder. This is the story of the war in Iraq as never seen before, the casualties don't stop just because the war is over"--Container
