"If the word 'documentary' makes your attention wander, simply think of '15:13' as a war movie. It is a movie from the front. It shares the life of the soldier--the rations and rocket attacks and horseplay and tough work, and always the bravery and comradeship in a place where life is a matter of life and death. It puts you in a fascinating place in fascinating ways. And no special effects. This movie is exactly the real thing."

--Zay N. Smith, Chicago Sun-times

An amazing, down-to-earth and revealing film. I particularly like the way the filmmaker is a background 'ghost', which allows the viewer to experience the real Afghanistan from the soldiers' perspective.

"The Hurt Locker? Fake. Hollywood has got it so hyped up that if you throw a grenade the size of a baseball, it'll level a building. It's just not true. '15:13'? The real words. The real people."

--A Warrant Officer, Forward Operating Base Ma'Sum Ghar, Afghanistan

"15:13 truly reflects the realities on the ground--not the simple blood-lust depicted in Hollywood, but the intricate camaraderie between soldiers. This is 'their' story."

--A Master Warrant Officer, Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan

"15:13 is real reality-- as opposed to Reality TV reality. Not fake like The Hurt Locker. Anyone who doesn't get 15:13 needs to spend some time in Afghanistan."

--A Corporal, Forward Operating Base Ma'Sum Ghar, Afghanistan

"15:13 captures everything I know and hold dear about soldiers. It is rough-and-tumble like them and tells the real story: who they are, what they do, how they feel and what makes them laugh, and why they are there. I guess the best word to describe it all is moving. If you know anything about soldiers, this movie has captured their souls and tells it how it is."

--A Major-General, Ottawa, Canada
