The Kill Team

Country: United StatesDirector: Dan KraussRuntime: 79 mins

Private Adam Winfield was a 21-year-old soldier in Afghanistan when he attempted to alert the military to the war crimes his platoon was committing. But Winfield’'s pleas went unheeded and he was left on his own with threats to his life. Equal parts infuriating and illuminating, The Kill Team looks at the devastating moral tensions that tear at soldiers'’ psyches through the lens of one highly personal and emotional story. With extraordinary access to the key individuals involved in the case, Dan Krauss expertly constructs a nuanced look at the personal stories so often lost inside the larger coverage of the longest war in US history.
