Synopsis

A small unit of U.S. soldiers stationed at the remote Combat Outpost Keating, located deep in the valley of three mountains in Afghanistan, faces a coordinated attack by an overwhelming force of Taliban fighters. The Battle of Kamdesh, as it became known, was the bloodiest American engagement of the Afghan War in 2009, and Bravo Troop 3-61 CAV emerged as one of the most decorated units of the 19-year conflict.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 24

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
