OP ATHENA — Combat, Convince, Construct documents the many activities of the soldiers on Op ATHENA ROTO 3-10, the last eight month deployment of Canadian soldiers for the combat portion of the Afghan mission. From helping the civilian population with medical aid and road building, to security patrols and training Afghan soldiers, the documentary covers all the major activities of a typical Op ATHENA combat ROTO.

Pretty slow.... :waiting:

All the Brit documentaries are a lot more interesting to watch.  Things like - I dunno - maps, interviews about what was going on, combat footage....
