Outside the Wire: Danger Close World Premier

On March 26th, 2007 Al Qaida in Iraq attacked O.P. Omar, a small outpost in Al Anbar province manned by Army paratroopers from Blackfoot Company, 1-501st.

Al Qaida brought two suicide truck bombs, and more than 40 gunmen to the 20 minute battle.

Documentary filmmaker JD Johannes was embedded with Blackfoot Company and was nearly killed twice while filming the action.

From the combat footage, interviews with the soldiers who manned the walls and digital animations comes a in-depth look at the firefight and the paratroopers who fought it.
