Making Of An Army

Sergeant Alvarez has only four weeks to train a group of men into soldiers. But the typical training methods do not work with these recruits. That´s because the recruits are Iraqis. They don´t speak a word of English. They don´t understand commands or swear words. They refuse to shave their mustaches, let alone their entire heads. Meanwhile, outside the base, the insurgency is raging.       

How do American soldiers mold Iraqi Soldiers? How do they train Iraqis to storm an insurgent stronghold? This fascinating documentary follows the making of an army, an Iraqi Army that fights for America, a key to America´s success during this endless war. This story asks, can an Iraqi Army be built to support America?
