Excellent Insightful Film
Our unit is preparing to deploy to Afghanistan. We viewed the film as partr of our training to work with the Afghan Security Forces. The film provided some interesting perspectives on the Afghan leadership and the challenges of training and equipping these forces. This film was an excellent training tool. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is deploying to Afghanistan or anyone who has an interest in the present and future of Afghanistan.
Outstanding documentary
Outstanding documentary that shows day to day issues faced by a mentoring team in Afghanistan. Ms Dysinger does a nice job showing the extremely complex non-kinetic side of the war, and how both Coalition and Afghan Soldiers work through multiple rotations.
A beautiful, complex yet perfectly balanced story
I have seen this film several times now. It's an amazing feat of access, structure, and storytelling. This is one of the very few American films that give a voice to the Afghans - and it does so with tremendous respect, humor, and understanding. Given that it deals with such a potentially polarizing issue as the US presence in Afghanistan, Camp Victory is incredibly balanced and honest in the picture it paints. It does not seem to advocate for one side or another; rather, it simply seeks to tell one story of US-Afghan relationships through its two main characters - general Sayar and colonel Shute. If you come to this film with preconceived notions, you're likely to find them challenged; if you come with an open mind or no preset agenda, you're likely to get hooked on the joys of seeking a layered understanding of the situation on the ground. Seems like Afghanistan offers plenty of opportunity for that.
