A short film looking at the cost of war and the compassion and empathy that lies in all of us. This film is there to ignite debate about what it means to be human and what happens when we lose our compassion for our fellow humans. In Battle is the story of two soldiers who are literally thrown into a situation that none would count on. How do you react when coming face to face with the enemy? A place where language and countries divide us, Life and Death in the balance. When barriers of language and country dissolve we are all human, and that makes us the same.

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

When Andrew Briggman — a young soldier in the US Army during the invasion of Afghanistan — witnesses the murderous behavior of fellow soldiers, under the direction of a malevolent Sergeant, he faces a moral dilemma. His increasingly-violent platoon becomes suspicious that someone in their ranks has turned on them, and Andrew begins to fear for his safety. A fictionalized dramatization based on a true story.
