During the busiest hours of my day, CNN replayed a their documentary of the prison revolt at Mazar-e Sharif in Afghanistan last year. (House of War: The Uprising at Mazar-e Sharif) I could only give it 40% of the attention I would have liked to.
That's the long incident where a mob of Taliban beat a CIA interogator to death, Allied Special Forces poured laser-guided bombs onto the prison for a day, and eventually traitor Taliboy John Walker Lindh was pulled out of a basement with a few other survivors.
The documentary was amazing. Throughout the drama there was a team of German(?) journalists in and around the prison recording. CNN compiled this and other footage, along with interviews with people at the scene into a gripping hour-long film.
It's probably one of the rare instances where you'd ever get to see real-life special operations soldiers milling around, doing their jobs (every type was there -- CIA, SAS, Seals, and Delta Force). The candidness of the footage makes it really compelling to watch.
If that doesn't grip you, there is lots of macabre medieval footage too -- watching the two primitive sides fight each other in their clumsy, tooth-and-nail way. (Including a brutal head-shot of a Northern Alliance soldier blown off the parapet of the fort, and the grenade-suicide of a Taliban prisoner)
I'm not sure if the video has played on US CNN, but its last run on the international circuit was november 26. If you're unfortunate enough not to get to see it on tv, you can at least browse their web gallery, which covers the 'high' points, including photos. {there actually is a video option, but you have to pay for it}
