"Saving Jessica Lynch" (2003) - Iraq War Military drama

During Operation Iraqi Freedom, an Iraqi citizen (Nicholas Guilak) risks his life to help U.S. forces rescue a captive American soldier (Laura Regan).

Dramatizations of the capture and rescue of the Army supply clerk (Laura Regan) during Operation Iraqi Freedom, based on the account of Iraqi lawyer Mohammed Al-Rehaief (Nicholas Guilak), who risks his own life---and those of his wife and daughter---to inform U.S. forces of Private Lynch's whereabouts after he sees an Iraqi soldier slapping her at the hospital where his wife works as a nurse. The film's first 40 minutes are shown without interruption.

A TV docudrama that was literally thrown together within months following the dramatic rescue of Private Jessica Lynch in the first weeks of `Iraqi Freedom.' There was much skepticism for many who even considered working on the project do to the quick timing. To this day, rumor and innuendo still surround the facts. Handsomely produced and legitimately emotional at points, "Saving Jessica Lynch" isn't a great film, but it is decent.

NBC claims that this particular version of events are the story rights of Mohammed Al Rehaief, the Iraqi lawyer who risked his life and family by telling American Soldiers of Lynch's where abouts. Yet, the movie starts long before Al Rehaief's participation, and the circumstances surrounding events without Al Rehaief are apparent matter of fiction, creative conjecture, and public record, that the creators have handled well. But there will always be this question, that I hope critics will answer, who does this story really belong to?

Originally aired on TV on November 9, 2003.
