Lions for Lambs (2007)

The poignant and layered story of several individuals caught up at various ends of the nation's war on terror - a senator attempting to spin the latest 'comprehensive strategy' to a network news journalist, an idealistic professor trying to convince one of his most promising students to change the course of his life, and two young men, fighting in the snow-capped mountains of Afghanistan, whose desire to live a life of meaning leads them to join the U.S. army and the fight against global terrorism.
