- In 2011 the documentary „Eight Full Moons” by Ģirts Straustiņš, Sandijs Semjonovs and Zane Peneze was demonstrated in cinemas in Riga and all around Latvia.
The movie was filmed in Afghanistan, and it allows audience to witness the events on the frontline. The authors of movie state: “This is not the story about the war against terrorism, this is the story about the ways in which the war changes men.”
Interviews with soldiers before the battle and after dramatic events which might have cost them their lives show the true face of the war.
Directors of the movie spent five weeks in one of the most dangerous places in the world - Kunar Valley on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan where the US and Latvian Operational and Mentoring Liaison Team operated.

Latvian troops have always been pretty bad ass for how under-equipped they used to be...Now look at them! They have some really nice gear now! Good...They're good people. I dated a Latvian girl a long time ago, she was super punk rock lol, but her brother was a veteran from their Army's Special Tasks Unit's support squadron or something cool like that if I remember correctly...He got hit in the cheek by shrapnel in some skirmish he never could tell me about. Latvians *are* truly bad asses. Reminds me of the Polish vets I've met...Just hard, hard motherf--kers.
I've seen just about every doc on Afghanistan and Iraq (and syria) and this is right at the top. Really well done. These Latvian guys are great people. Hope they're all home and in good health.
One of the guys which talks almost half of the movie, with the beard is my uncle
Thank you to Latvia and to all our allies in this war much respect
This was one of the best Afghan stories I have ever watch..... God bless those Latvia guys, an the 101st AirBorne. This sure shows how other units work with US Forces. Soldiers all feel the same, when it comes to the fight, I am sending this to all my friends. It's a damn shame I just now found it. Nov.1st 2017................I am an AMERICAN SOLDIER !
Ozi, paldies Tev :) par uzņemību! Patikami velreiz iegremdeties tajā atmosfērā...
I want to give my most heartfelt salute to the men of the 101st ABD and to the Latvian Army for the work they were doing fighting terrorism. I served in the US. Army, CPT FA, from 88-98 and want to stay you are all my brothers and I am honored to be your brother. People that have never worn the uniform for their country, will never understand the truth about military service. The truth is we fought/fight for each other. I recently had the honor to speak with three Vietnam American Army Veterans. Each to the man embraced me and said even if I did not serve with them, that I was their brother too. So in honor of three great men that served their country, the men of 101st, the men of Latvian Military; we are all brothers, sisters, and family. Only those who served and wore the uniform understand the true meaning of these words Duty, Honor, Country. God Bless you all as well as Godspeed for a safe and speedy return to your families.
I'm an old combat vet from Vietnam. this is absolutely the best solders documentary. Great job! Like it really is.
ACADMan there is another good 4 part series called our war ..it's the brits it's good no bull shit
ACADMan I just wanted to say welcome home, and thank you for your service. Semper Fi.
Watch korengal and restrepo amazing documentaries they are both about the same platoon
Great documentary. It was refreshing to not have a stupid voice over from a journalist explaining everything. It leaves stuff up to the viewers imagination. Bravo to the Latvians for committing some sof guys and for going to the trouble of making one of the best Afghanistan documentaries I've seen. I give it 8.5/10. Two thumbs up.
Don't be confused with the camo on their gear....These aren't SOF. They are just a liaison team with some US Army unit doing patrols. I've met one of their SOF vets before when I dated a Latvian girl...She introduced me to her older brother who was in their Special Tasks Unit (their SF) vet. He wouldn't tell you much...lol....But yeah, same amount of OPSEC and ambiguity as the SAS or Delta would have. Not a bad doc though! Really neat to see both Americans and Latvians on patrol and covering each other in battle.
Dennis SR that's where your opinion doesn't matter Dennis, we've been cross training with LVSOF for the last 4months and they're fucking hard, the guys in the video are SOF
they are Latvian armed forces special operation unit soldiers. These guys ar Latvian Elite, just like GIGN, SAS or Navy Seals.
Les Flynn i agree
@@QuicheDude It seems that Dennis SR is right dude ! these particular Lats are badass but not SOF, they where part of a liaison and mentoring team inside 101st AB. And it makes sense, you don't put the faces of active SOF on camera, in any countries you don't even put the retired guys on cam because they are potential reserve, especially in tiny Latvia.
(By the way, just between you and me, putting Quiche in front of dude is like saying stupid dude in French .. might want change that ? ... no pun intended just saying)
Another example of what Latvian (not SOF) guys are capable of is Battle for Keating COP in 2009, which produced a constellation of medals: 27 Purple Hearts, 37 Army Commendation Medals with “V” devices for valor, three Bronze Stars, 18 Bronze Stars with “V” devices, and nine Silver Stars and 2 Medals of Honor.
Latvian STG and CPL were fighting amongst 3-61 CAV guys against about 300 Taliban fighters (30 ANAs just ran away at the beginning, there was 9 US KIAs and 22 wounded unfortunately), for 13 hours of heavy contact. Basically the COP was overrun and 6 Americans and 2 Latvians had to retake it back. There's a few books written, documentaries and a film made - "Outpost" about that battle. mohmuseum.org/copkeating/
Thank you to Latvia and their soldiers!!!
This is probably the best Afghanistan doc showing what its like from the soldiers prospective.
maybe because it's in another language with another people, the simple reason of a different code/language in my opinion is one of the main factor for this documentary be more true, also real because it's in a war zone but more true
This is one of the BEST DOCUMENTARIES I've ever watched ... and OZ was out of central casting ... everyone should be proud, I highly recommend this if you want an accurate picture!!! 🙏🏼💞
Someone recommended this movie from Jamesons travels as he made a reaction video of the Latvian SF testing phase.
OUTSTANDING!!! Great job Latvians!
Awesome documentary. To Valhalla Brothers. Thank you for your service!
This is such a good movie. Not a lot of blood & guts. It's about how war changes men. It's damn' good.
Well done BROTHERS............ Latvia soldiers well done great soldiers in this film.

All due respect to all the coalition members fighting, but it was refreshing to get a perspective that isn't American for a change.

Only glory in war is the triumph of an individual over a difficult situation. Anyone who tries to speak to me of the beauty of war might as well attempt to convince me that there is something beautiful about fucking a cow in a slaughterhouse. Infantry, Vietnam, 66-67.
On the 21: 10 second of the movie, the Afghan interpreter is misinterpreting the soldier's saying. These are of the reasons that have led to some bad incidents.
Hello bro ...what was the problem .....and bed incident ....
thanks, really enjoyed it
Afghanistan is 16,000 square miles SMALLER than Texas....We've been there for 16 years...
Suv dzeki,malaci👍
Paldies!

At minute 6'30 the Latvian soldier says " Nobody could ever conquer Afghanistan " ...Mistaken Sir ! Alexander the Great, 5 centuries before Christ conquerered the country and from there passed on to India till the River Indus. Since then, Yes nobody could control this mountainous land !
I think it mainly comes from Latvian Afghan war veterans in Soviet times, Russians have this narrative probably to explain why they had to leave... and lately I see the same with Americans, popping up

iT FUNNY THEY CURSE IN RUSSIAN AND PLAY RUSSIAN SONGS TOO.!GOOD JOB GUYS!
Because there is a official language - Latvian
And sadly a somewhat official language - Russian
@@a10warthog4 It's not official. And how is it sad that russian language is so popular? I am a latvian and I see no problem
the strongest curse words Latvians use are Russian, because our own curse words probably were considered too weak or too long to pronounce, Russians words are shorter and more to the point :D
First time i ever seen german special forces!
?
Those are Latvian
Did he really just say that he wanted to use kids as a human shield by bringing candy.... That is disgraceful!
No, he said he wants to ensure his and others safety because they wont open fire if children are around.
If they shoot from those positions then it would be considered as using them as human shields but this was never his intention. He knows that where are children there will be peace.
