WE CAME IN PEACE

The "boots-on-the-ground" truth from those who were there.

FEATURE-LENGTH DOCUMENTARY

This poignant, intensely personal, film will chronicle the United States Marines presence and operations in Beirut, Lebanon from 1982 to 1984.

IN MEMORIAM

This project is dedicated to the members of the United States military who made the ultimate sacrifice in Lebanon between 1982 and 1984, their Gold Star families and surviving comrades-in-arms, as well as the United States Foreign Service, Multinational Force members, and our Lebanese allies.

HISTORY PRESERVED

From rarely discussed deadly firefights to the terrorist bombing that took 241 lives - the single deadliest attack on American Marines since the Battle of Iwo Jima - this film will feature those who served, political and military decision makers, and the journalists who documented the chaotic state of affairs in the region.

TIMELINE

Telling the story of a multiyear, multinational mission set in the most religiously and politically complex region of the world (a story that includes modern day "Pearl Harbor" style terrorist attacks) is a complex task. Your patience is appreciated as the stories of the Beirut mission continue to be recorded, preserved and woven together to create this important documentary.
