During the summer of 1970 at Fort Knox, Kentucky, a group of men going through infantry training show how they're transformed from civilians into soldiers. As well as being a unique portrait of the US army at work, it's also a fascinating snapshot of a time and place at a defining moment in American history.

Any of Wiseman's documentaries are good but Basic Training, Meat and Blind are good ones to start with if you are not familiar with his work
