Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Aimed squarely at anyone who loves watching the truth get chased down and history and war-film fans. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story. Same wavelength as 20 Days in Mariupol or They Shall Not Grow Old. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood: Intense, eye-opening.
The pace: Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Damien Degueldre recounts day after day the Battle of Qala-I-Jangi, as seen by his own eyes: a young French reporter in the middle of extraordinary circumstances. Damien Degueldre caught exclusive footage of the Mazar-el Sharif uprising where John Walker – better known as the ‘American Taliban’ – was captured as he fought on Taliban frontlines. An incredible testimony on the aftermath of 9/11 and the events that took place in Afghanistan in the early days of the War on Terror.
