This film is based on the true story of United States Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, and his memoir of the same name. Kyle served four Iraq War tours and became a legend for his skill and military career before being murdered by a fellow military man struggling with PTSD.

This two-part documentary series by PBS on the Iraq War goes in depth on Al Qaeda, "weapons of mass destruction," and the big players behind United States foreign policy that led us into the Iraq War.

This war thriller not only stole the show at the Academy Awards, but also earned Kathryn Bigelow a golden Best Director—the first ever by a woman.
