Rueben's Ramblings

On November 7, the 8-part new series The Long Road Home will air its two-hour debut on the National Geographic Channel at 9 PM.

Based on best seller of the same name, the series relives a heroic fight for survival during the Iraq War, when the 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Hood was ferociously ambushed on April 4, 2004, in Sadr City, Baghdad – a day that came to be known as “Black Sunday.” The series cuts between the action on the ground in Iraq and that of the homefront back in Texas, where wives and families await news for 48 hellish hours, expecting the worst.

The cast includes Jason Ritter (Kevin Probably Saves the World), Jeremy Sisto (Ice and Suburgatory), E.J. Bonilla (Unforgettable and Revenge), Sarah Wayne Callies (Colony and The Walking Dead) and Kate Bosworth (The Art of More).

Here is a trailer for The Long Road Home.
