THE FIRST FEATURE DOCUMENTARY EVER FILMED INSIDE THE U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY 

“The most realistic portrayal of the cadet journey ever filmed.” 
- Association of Graduates

"Realistic, hopeful, and very informative... I highly recommend it for all who are pursuing one of the academies whether it is the Air Force or not. There is much rigor that goes into getting in the Air Force Academy and it would serve a candidate well to see the documentary before they have made their final decision about college." 
- Susan Chritton, Executive Career Coach and Author, "Personal Branding for Dummies


"An eye-opener...If you're interested in the inner workings of the military's most elite academy...then you should absolutely check ["A Year in the Blue"] out."

SYNOPSIS: 
When the upperclassman yells, “GET OFF MY BUS”,  a small group of high school grads step into the intimidating and intense new world of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado. 

Under pressure from their cadet-officers, these high-achieving young men and women suddenly find themselves struggling to follow the simplest commands. They dreamed of becoming pilots and officers, but find themselves slogging through mud and barbed wire on the assault course, and chasing through the sweltering summer heat in combat exercises. Some want to drop out! Is there purpose behind the madness or is it just old-school military bravado? And what will it take to be accepted by their cadet-squadron?

Granted unprecedented access to life inside the Academy walls, A YEAR IN THE BLUE: INSIDE THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY is an intimate portrayal of the heartbreaks and triumphs of balancing military training, a rigorous four-year college education, mandatory athletics, and flying and parachuting, following the cadets from the dorms to Boot Camp, the Airfield to the Football Stadium, and to West Point and Alaska.
