It is a story of American
soldiers and the U.S. stabilisation mission in Afghanistan. The film presents
how the troops struggle with the demons of war and try to put their lives
together after the return to their homeland. The documentary portrays Sergeant
Corey Speck, who in September 2009 in a small Afghan village risked his life
during a firefight. With the help of Polish soldiers, he saved seriously
wounded Corporal Marcin Kulas. After American soldiers were withdrawn from
Afghanistan, Corey started to wonder what happened to Corporal Kulas. It turns
out that Corey has Polish roots, but his family did not bring up that topic in
the past. Sergeant Speck comes to Poland to collect a medal for his merit from
the president of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, and also to find the
village in Podkarpackie voivodeship, where his great-grandparents had lived
before they emigrated to America.
