Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

In 2003 NYC, Kim Baker is a television journalist dissatisfied with the state of her career covering low-profile stories. She decides to take a short assignment as a war correspondent in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom, to the disappointment of her boyfriend Chris, who spends a lot of time traveling.

Assigned to low-budget living quarters with other international journalists, Kim develops a friendship with noted BBC correspondent Tanya Vanderpoel and lecherous Scottish freelance photographer Iain MacKelpie. After a period of adjustment, aided by her Afghan "fixer" Fahim Ahmadzai her, she begins taking well to the assignment. She elicits frank remarks on camera from soldiers questioning the value of their assignment there and puts herself in harm's way to capture combat incidents on video. American Marine commander General (previously Colonel) Hollanek sees her as an inexperienced nuisance. (wiki)
