AMERICAN HEROES CHANNEL PRESENTS WORLD TELEVISION PREMIERE OF CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DOCUMENTARY FILM "THE HORNET'S NEST" ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 AT 9/8C

--Emmy Award-Winning Conflict Journalists Mike and Carlos Boettcher, Capture Powerful and Emotional Realities of War and Sacrifice in America's War on Terror--

(Silver Spring, Md.) - American Heroes Channel (AHC) announced today that it will present the world television premiere of the critically acclaimed feature-length documentary film THE HORNET'S NEST on September 11 at 9/8c as a special tribute to the undeniable heroism and sacrifice of the U.S. Armed Forces following the attacks in 2001. Armed with only their cameras, THE HORNET'S NEST follows Emmy Award-winning journalists Mike Boettcher and his son, Carlos Boettcher, as they are embedded with U.S. forces fighting on the front lines in Afghanistan. Amid the constant threat of the Taliban, the film unfolds a true story of survival for the soldiers, and for the father and son team who seek to re-connect under the most harrowing of circumstances.

Using unprecedented real footage, the film tells the story of an elite group of U.S. troops sent on a dangerous mission deep inside one of Afghanistan's most hostile valleys. The film culminates with what was planned as a single day strike turning into nine intense days of harrowing combat against an invisible, hostile enemy in the country's complex terrain. The Boettchers embed themselves in this conflict, bravely following the troops through endless gun battles, roadside bombings and sniper fire from an invisible enemy whose one goal is to kill Americans.

"This film gives you a never-before seen look at the sacrifices, patriotism and dedication our troops face every day in battle," said Kevin Bennett, EVP and General Manager, American Heroes Channel. "These are the men and women who personify the extreme realities of war, and American Heroes Channel is honored to provide the exclusive television premiere of this film to our viewers."

"Through screenings across the country, we've heard from so many of our service men and women how inspiring this film is and we can't wait to share it with all of America," said HighRoad Media Co-Directors Christian Tureaud and David Salzberg. "The film opens your eyes through a non-political point-of-view, and people come out of the experience asking how they can help."

THE HORNET'S NEST is produced by HighRoad Media in association with Base Productions. For HighRoad Media, Christian Tureaud and David Salzberg serve as co-directors and producers. For Base Productions, John Brenkus and Mickey Stern are executive producers.
