CARRIER: 1 Ship, 5000 Stories

Stumbled across this DVD at the library. One of the best documentaries I have seen in a long time. Not a propaganda film at all. It really shows a diverse mindset toward the mission, and life in the Navy aboard an aircraft carrier. A little gritty, without being too offensive, showing the bad along with the good. Hope you enjoy.

CARRIER is a character-driven, edge-of-your-seat, nonfiction drama and a once-in-a-lifetime total immersion in the high-stakes world ofÊa nuclear aircraft carrier. CARRIER follows a core group ofÊfilm participants aboard the USS Nimitz, from the admiral of theÊstrike groupÊto the fighter pilots to the youngest sailors, as they navigate personal conflicts around their jobs, families, faith, patriotism, love, the rites of passage and the war on terror.
