    Because of the strong response to the Black Hawk Down serial in The Philadelphia Inquirer, we have made the video companion documentary available for purchase.

    This gripping, Emmy-award winning companion documentary to Black Hawk Down vividly tells the story of one of America's biggest modern military blunders and the events that led up to it. Produced by KR Video. This video is the uncut, 57-minute version of the show that aired on CNN as Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War.

    Watch a preview of the video. (RealVideo format).

    The video is available for $19.95 plus shipping and tax (where applicable). To order by phone, call 215 854-4444 (6am-5pm ET), or shop online.
