A Second Knock at the Door is a documentary on friendly fire in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The film follows military families after they are told their family member died in a "fratricide" incident.
All the families profiled in the film only learned their family member was killed by a comrade, not an enemy, months after they first learned of their death.

Director Christopher Grimes has described being inspired by the official coverup that former sport star Pat Tillman was killed by his comrades.

The film was screened at the Flyway Film Festival in 2011, and the East Lansing Film Festival in 2012.

Une réévaluation du rôle joué par Albert Speer dans le Troisième Reich. Speer, qui a finalement été condamné aux procès de Nuremberg et a purgé une peine de 20 ans de prison, était connu pour avoir conçu de nombreux bâtiments du Troisième Reich et pour avoir été le ministre de la production de guerre d'Hitler.

Le film critique les actions des militaires américains lors de l'Invasion du Panama par les États-Unis en 1989. Il met en évidence le point de vue faussé des médias américains, en montrant ce qui était caché au moment des faits. Il montre en particulier les relations entre George Bush et Manuel Noriega.

Vann Nath and Chum Mey, two survivors of the Khmer Rouge's Tuol Sleng Prison, are reunited and revisit the former prison, now a museum in Phnom Penh. They meet their former captors – guards, interrogators, a doctor and a photographer – many of whom were barely teenagers during the Khmer Rouge era from 1975 to 1979. Their appearances are in stark contrast to the two former prisoners, who are both elderly men. Vann Nath, who was made to paint portraits of prisoners, has a full head of white hair.
