Description
A powerful story of war, identity, and the impact of technology on society, First Platoon explores the experiences of a platoon of young soldiers in Afghanistan and the U.S. Department of Defense's quest to build a powerful biometrics database. Based on hundreds of formerly classified documents and exclusive interviews, this investigative exposé sheds light on the intersection of technology and humanity in the age of surveillance.
