Winner of four Emmy(R) Awards, including Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming (Jon Alpert, Matthew ONeill)! The 86th Combat Support Hospital (CSH)--the U.S. Armys premier medical facility in Iraq and formerly one of Saddam Husseins elite hospitals--is the setting for this unforgettable documentary that puts a human face on the wars cold casualty statistics. Directed by Emmy(R)-winner Jon Alpert (HBOs One Year in a Life of Crime), the film profiles the doctors and nurses at the 86th who fight to save wounded soldiers who are Medevaced (helicoptered) in on a numbingly routine basis. In addition to capturing the drama of victims and caregivers in the ER, the film provides vivid frontline rescue footage with the 54th Medical Company Air Ambulance Team along with tension-filled scenes of soldiers patrolling what is considered the most dangerous road in the world: the five-mile highway from the Baghdad Airport to the CSH.
