So glad the Heroes of Valor Collection has become a trilogy! Danger Close has become one of my favorite documentaries. Alex Quade is a freelance war reporter that has dedicated her life to getting up in the action of war. Not only is Quade capturing raw footage with her personal point and shoot camera, she is also on a mission to give back to fallen Staff Sargent Robert Pirelli and his family. Robert Pirelli hand built a combat outpost in the most dangerous part of Iraq and was killed in a firefight with the Al Qaeda. The outpost was eventually named Combat Outpost Pirelli in honor of Robert Pirelli. After Alex Quade was injured in the field she was sent home to get better, while in the states Quade met up with the Pirelli family and they expressed their desire for Quade to make it back to the outpost to see what had become of it. Quade accepted the task and instantly became determined to keep her promise. My favorite part of the movie was seeing the perseverance that Quade exhibits when traveling from different special forces units just to go back to the outpost. The film is an overall touching, feel-good movie. I recommend this to people that want to see a behind the scenes look at what happens overseas, and also people who love giving back to their troops.
