The Long Road Home - Season 1

Season 1

This November, National Geographic will premiere a gripping, intimate look at the human toll war takes on both soldiers and their families in a brand new scripted series The Long Road Home. Based on the New York Times best-selling book by internationally acclaimed journalist Martha Raddatz,The Long Road Home tells the story of April 4, 2004, when a small platoon of soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Division out of Fort Hood, Texas, was ferociously ambushed in the teeming, maze-like Baghdad suburb of Sadr City — a day that would come to be known in US military annals as "Black Sunday." The series offers an intimate window into the experience of war as seen through the eyes of the soldiers themselves and the families back home. It is an adrenaline-fuelled and heart-filled journey that follows the action of the battle on two simultaneous fronts — the chaotic, terror filled streets of Sadr City, where a group of inexperienced young soldiers face an unexpected and unimaginable attack, and the home front at Fort Hood, where family members, desperate for news of their loved ones and fearing the worst, discover their own bravery as well. The eight part series, which lasts the exact amount of time the soldiers were pinned down, tells the story of not only these men, but also those in the three desperate rescue missions launched to save them.
