A simple and, possibly as a result of this, effective reworking of a recent propaganda film. The original film is Enduring Freedom: The Opening Chapter. It was made for a large scale cinema release as a short or commercial and was commissioned by the US Marine Corps and the US Navy. Sanborn copied the film and showed each scene in its glorious bombast and heroism twice.
