The Fighting Season is a gripping military documentary series that follows the lives of American soldiers fighting in the war in Afghanistan. The show premiered on AUDIENCE NETWORK in 2015, and aired for one season. The series follows the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army. The battalion is tasked with fighting the Taliban in the remote and treacherous mountains of the Pech Valley in eastern Afghanistan. The Fighting Season documents the soldiers' deployment from their arrival in-country to their final days on the battlefield.

Throughout the series, we see the soldiers go through intense physical and mental training, as they prepare for the challenges they will face in Afghanistan. The show also gives us a glimpse into their personal lives, as they speak candidly about their fears, motivations and hopes for the future.

The team behind The Fighting Season was granted unprecedented access to the soldiers, and the footage they captured is both intimate and raw. The show blends footage from helmet cameras, drone cameras and traditional cameras to give viewers a 360-degree view of the soldiers' lives on the front lines.

The series also features interviews with military experts and journalists, who provide context and analysis for the events shown in the footage. This approach allows viewers to gain a better understanding of the complex nature of the war in Afghanistan, and the sacrifices made by American soldiers.

One of the standout members of the battalion is David Light, a platoon leader who we follow throughout the series. Light is a charismatic and driven leader who is deeply committed to his soldiers. We see him make difficult decisions under extreme pressure, and witness his close relationships with his troops.

We also follow Private Joseph Anderson, a young soldier who is eager to serve his country but finds the reality of war more challenging than he expected. Anderson's journey is a powerful reminder of the toll that war takes on soldiers, both physically and mentally.

Another key figure in the battalion is Sergeant First Class John Graham, a veteran soldier who is nearing the end of his military career. Despite his years of experience, Graham is still deeply emotional about the war and the sacrifices made by his fellow soldiers. His perspective provides a valuable counterpoint to the younger soldiers in the battalion.

Overall, The Fighting Season is a remarkable and moving documentary series that offers a unique window into the experiences of American soldiers fighting in Afghanistan. Combining raw footage with expert analysis, the show provides a powerful commentary on the nature of war and the sacrifices made by those who serve.

The Fighting Season is a series that ran for 1 seasons (6 episodes) between May 19, 2015 and on AUDIENCE NETWORK
