About

You can watch Tears of the Sun (2003) for free on Hoopla.

Navy SEAL Lieutenant A.K. Waters and his elite squadron of tactical specialists are forced to choose between their duty and their humanity, between following orders by ignoring the conflict that surrounds them, or finding the courage to follow their conscience and protect a group of innocent refugees. When the democratic government of Nigeria collapses and the country is taken over by a ruthless military dictator, Waters, a fiercely loyal and hardened veteran is dispatched on a routine mission to retrieve a Doctors Without Borders physician.

A weary, battle-hardened intensity radiates from the lead as he navigates an impossible moral crossroads in the African jungle. This visceral mission shifts from a standard tactical operation into a frantic, heart-wrenching rescue of innocent refugees.
