America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan left thousands of Afghan interpreters behind as the Taliban retook the country. Fearing retribution for his brave work with allied forces, beloved interpreter “Max” and his family are forced into hiding as they desperately struggle to escape Afghanistan. Told through frenzied communications between Max, his devoted Marine friends, and their network, we witness the surreal situation unfold over time as the group confronts the harsh realities of our broken system, and a world that moves on.
