The PBS program P.O.V. broadcast the film in October 2006. Running time: 90 minutes Members of the 2nd Battalion, 162nd Infantry Oregon Army National Guard witnessed Poitras filming from the rooftop of Dr. Aladhadh's rooftop during an ambush. Poitras initially denied being present during the ambush but then admitted in Jan. 2006. There is some debate on whether she had knowledge beforehand of the attack. After completing the film, Poitras was assigned the highest (i.e. most dangerous) rating possible on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's watchlist.
