Citizens
United Productions Presents
PERFECT
VALOR
Narration: Fred Dalton Thompson
Producer: David Bossie
Writer/Director:
David C. Taylor
In
2004, coalition forces in
Iraq
launched Operation Phantom Fury, the battle for control of
Fallujah. American troops fought through a city of enemy
insurgents, moving house to house and street to street to
seize control of the most dangerous city in the world. Perfect
Valor is the story of the price paid by
U.S.
forces and the legacy of that campaign as seen through the
eyes of the men and women who were there, risking their lives
in service to their country.
