February 11th, 2011 | Afghanistan Infantry Marjah | Posted by Dan Lamothe
As I mentioned earlier this week, I had the opportunity to review HBO’s new documentary, “Battle for Marjah,” before it debuts next Thursday at 9 p.m. Here’s the trailer:
My take on the 85-minute film just got posted here. HBO says it will air at the following times:
- Feb. 17, 9 p.m. (premiere)
- Feb. 22, 1 a.m.
- Feb. 25, 7.30 p.m.
- March 3, 12:30 a.m.
- March 7, 1:45 a.m.
It also will air Feb. 23 on HBO2 at 8 p.m.
Marjah Marine friends and families, we’d love to hear your take on the documentary. Drop in and say hi after you see it.
