Beskrivelse
Ya marg Ya zindagi.
Life or death.
Born to poverty
and facing starvation in his remote Afghan village, eighteen-year-old Yousuf
Sediq travels across Taliban territory to apply for a job as an interpreter
with the U.S., though he knows little English. After being placed with U.S. and
Canadian Special Forces, Yousuf finds out what war is really like.
Wanting to
do more to help his country, he seeks to join the fight as an Afghan Special
Forces soldier, eventually learning of a top-secret unit that he is invited to
try out for. After passing selection, Yousuf quickly rises through the ranks to
become a squadron commander, leading his fellow Special Forces soldiers on
thousands of daring raids, sometimes alongside elite U.S. forces.
Task
Force-241 kills and captures thousands of terrorists while saving the lives of
countless innocent Afghan civilians. Yousuf's unit becomes the Taliban's worst
nightmare, leading to them to place a bounty on the head of every member
of the task force, along with their families. Unless Task Force-241 kills them
first.
Then, in 2021, through a shady deal with corrupt
politicians, Afghanistan suddenly and quickly falls once again to the Taliban.
To Yousuf, the years of sacrifice and loss feel like they were for nothing,
even as his task force secures the Kabul airport so the Americans can evacuate
the country. Only after a suicide bomber kills hundreds, including thirteen
U.S. servicemembers, at the airport's Abbey Gate entrance does Yousuf and his
family get airlifted to the United States, where he's forced to start a new
life while dreaming of a peaceful Afghanistan.
