The title "Above the Best" stood out to me before I even watched the film. After the film, I got a clear understanding as to why the director, David Salzberg, decided to use this name. The pilots in the movie tell their story through words and raw footage they recorded while being in Afghanistan. The brotherhood and unity of these pilots with the soldiers on the ground was fascinating. The pilots see the men on the ground as the best men they know, and they are happy to be able to support them from the air. Above the Best is what these pilots believe themselves to be as they assist these heroes who are fighting below them. I recommend this because of the strong brotherhood displayed and the firsthand visuals showing what these soldiers experience when deployed. Because of this film, I will always say thank you to anyone who has or will risk their life for our freedom.
