"No soldier fights alone."
Relive a heroic fight for survival during the Iraq War, when the 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Hood was ferociously ambushed on April 4, 2004, in Sadr City, Baghdad — a day that came to be known in military annals as “Black Sunday.”
Go behind the scenes and on the set of National Geographic's new scripted series, The Long Road Home. Hear from the real soldiers and families and see how the events of Black Sunday are being brought to life thirteen years later.
Explore the real-life stories of the men and women who inspired The Long Road Home as they face the challenges of putting their lives back together. With footage shot by Martha Raddatz, author of the book on which the series is based, we follow the soldiers and their families as they process the events of Black Sunday, reconnect their lives and honor those who did not make it home.
