    Overall story is fascinating.

    Michael Enright --A real life Hollywood actor in films such as Knight and day, Old Dogs and Pirates of the Carribean. Has decided to join and very mch did join the Y. P. G. To fight ISIS in Syria. This film explores whether or not he "really" joined it. I mean he was definitely there but according to a few foreign "foreign" fighters he was not trusted with everything. While other fifghters and the Y. P. G. Themselves have proof he helped catch very important people in Syria. The story is 100% interesting and should be watched just for the WTF factor. The direction and producing of the film is questionable with the 1st half bashing him down and the 2nd bringing him up. Didn't really work so the "movie" part gets a 5-6 out of 10 but this story and your need to watch it gets a 9 out of 10. Ohhh and there's a little twist at the end that makes you ask yourself a question..

    Makes you think

    When this documentary started, I'm not going to lie, I didn't take to Michael Enright. Being ex-military myself for over 20 years (and having served in some scary places) I knew people like him. Billy Bulls**tters. If you've been to Timbuktu, he's been to Timbukthree, Been to Tenerife? He's been to Eleven-erife. But I think that was the point at the start of the documentary.

    The first half puts that doubt in your mind that he's a Walter Mitty. That he's making a lot of it up. Then the detractors speak (one US ex-soldier in particular) to further reinforce that opinion.

    But bear with it. It does a whole 180 degree spin. What unfolds proves he has seen things many will never see and he suffers as a consequence. The head-cam footage is terrifying and horrific. One interaction following an ISIS attack almost breaks him and genuinely had me in pieces.

    Was he lied to by officials (I'll not give any more away)? I don't know. It's in his interest to lie about this, but he seems reasonably credible. What I do know (and again I'll not spoil things but if you know anything about the Kurds you'll know already), betrayal features highly here. Regardless of your politics, what happens sticks in the craw and makes you feel guilty and embarrassed. He can't go back to the UK (similar fighters against ISIS have been prosecuted) and returning the US seems a futile dream. Sobering stuff.

    Some show

    A movie about wannabe fighter who is "fighting" against Isis terrorist organisation which was created by CIA-mossad so that Syria's dictator Asad, who didn't agree on petroleum/gas deal with USA, so that he could be overthrown by ypg who was supported by USA so they could formate independent Kurdish government near petrol wells in Syria borders. So that USA could control them and steal as much as petroleum they want. That's the story about wannabe Rambo who thought he is doing something right. This is story about current clown world, theatre playing in middle East. Enjoy the show.

    True Selfless Hero!

    That's who a true freedom fighter IS !

    Mark my words, ISIS will come back to life stronger than it has ever been, under a new name, but with the same agenda. Make sure to join the fighting forces to combat this evil!!!!!!!!
