After 20 years of war, America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan left hundreds of thousands of Afghan interpreters and other allies behind as the Taliban retook the country with shocking speed. Fearing retribution for his brave work with the U.S., beloved interpreter “Max” and his family of 10 are forced into hiding as they desperately struggle to escape Afghanistan before they are tracked down and punished. Meanwhile in the U.S., Max’s former brothers in arms and their network of supporters work frantically to navigate the byzantine visa process established by the U.S. government to bring these allies to safety. Told through frenzied communications between Max, his devoted Marine friend Joe and their network, "Max: One Last Favor" bears witness to the surreal situation unfolding over time as the group confronts the harsh realities of a broken system and a world that has moved on.
