Escape from Marawi

ISIS is expanding in Southeast Asia. In order to gain territory and recruit additional followers, the terrorist organization is bombing the city of Marawi in the South Philippines. The city, however, is not taking the attempted invasion lightly. Created by ABC News Australia, Escape from Marawi is situated on the front line of this bloody conflict as one of their reporters is caught in the middle.

After a long period of preparation, ISIS effectively seized the city. Many of the 250,000 residents have fled, and the remaining residents live in a constant state of danger. Innocent victims are common. Every day, armed forces attempt to eradicate the threat and reclaim the city from ISIS, but are frequently overpowered by ISIS fire from above and below.

The metropolis is poised to become the next location of extremism from which many global terrorist acts will originate. A significant portion of this danger is internal, specifically the result of a pair of brothers from the city of Marawi who have aligned themselves with ISIS under the guise of a separate group.

This is the most extreme form of trench warfare, and the ABC News crew is still directly involved in it. However, like everyone else in the crowd, their safety is not guaranteed. Andy Harvey, the movie’s primary reporter, was killed by an M16 firearm’s bullet to the base of the neck. The following is a tense and dangerous race to seek medical attention that is far from the fire of terrorist violence. No protected zone is present in a war-torn city like Marawi, even the local hospital that is overburdened with the treatment of both wounded fighters and civilians.

Beyond conveying the profound personal pain of losing a loved one, the makers of Escape from Marawi demonstrate how ISIS is able to take entire cities through a meticulous planning, brutal force, and a campaign of persuasive lies. We observe the difficulties of ordinary citizens who are situated in the middle, and the overburdened military’s inability to distinguish between allies and enemies. The odds were higher for those in front of or behind the camera.

Nancy Wake: Gestapo's Most WantedNancy Wake: Gestapo’s Most Wanted The neglect and abuse of American military veterans is well-known. Unnecessary conflicts, multiple deployments, and sluggish medical care have inflicted irreparable damage upon millions of the country's finest men and women. But the atrocities don't stop there. As explored in the new documentary Used and Betrayed, produced by the acclaimed Empire Files series, the United States military has a long and shameful history of exploiting brave soldiers as guinea pigs in a number of shocking experiments. The film sifts through a series of declassified documents to present the circumstances and consequences surrounding several of these experiments. Each case showcases a sinister disregard for the lives of those who serve their country. The film's accounts begin during World War I as over sixty thousand African American troops were subjected to chemical experiments in an attempt to gauge their effectiveness on the front line of warfare. The long-term health effects were not taken into account until many years later in 1993 when the facts behind these top-secret experiments were first unveiled to the public. At that time, only a little over 600 of these troops were located and offered appropriate medical care for their resulting ailments. The list of barbaric horrors goes on. According to the evidence presented in the film, the military would perform lobotomies on afflicted veterans prior to the discovery of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. First mounted in the 1950s under Central Intelligence Agency director Allen Dulles, the MKUltra Project subjected unsuspecting citizens - including many military troops - to a series of drug-induced mind control experiments. As a result of questionable combat mission conditions, Gulf War veterans have suffered from a host of conditions from memory loss to various cancers. In each case, the government has been slow to acknowledge their role in perpetuating these illnesses or to provide assistance in treating them. With damning anger and urgency, Used and Betrayed advocates for full transparency from the government on these and other missions throughout history. And that reparations be given to troops and families who have suffered so direly as a result. That's the only way we can truly support the troops.Enemy of Enemies: The Rise of ISIL America's War GamesAmerica’s War Games Vietnam: American HolocaustVietnam: American Holocaust
