Sometimes it takes saying “WTF” to discover the life you were always destined to lead. That’s exactly what happens to cable news producer Kim Baker (Tina Fey) when she realizes her routine existence is lacking in something – and decides to “blow it all up” by taking a crazy, WTF assignment in Afghanistan. There, amidst a mind-boggling array of adventurers, militants, warlords and madcap chaos, Kim finds something unexpected: the strength she never knew she had.
Based on the true adventures of war-reporter-in-the-making Kim Barker — and her acclaimed autobiography The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan – comes this hilarious and heartfelt portrait of a woman getting her life together in a global hot spot where everything else seems to be falling apart. Joining Fey on this wit-fueled journey across the world is a sparkling cast including Margot Robbie, Martin Freeman, Alfred Molina, Christopher Abbott and Billy Bob Thornton.

Directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa said that Fey’s decision to play Kim takes her into new territory. She still plays a relatable modern working woman, but one who goes far beyond the office confines of her famed portrait of comedy writer Liz Lemon on “30 Rock.”
“This is definitely not Liz Lemon Goes to War,” says co-director John Requa. “Kim Baker is a really complex character who gives Tina a chance to spread her wings as a wide-ranging actress.”
“Tina is the funniest person I’ve ever met,” adds co-director Glenn Ficarra, “but this movie also allows her to take her skills to a whole new level.”
See this great film when it opens in theaters nationwide on Friday, March 4.
In 2002, reporter Kim Barker arrived for the first time in Kabul, Afghanistan – and she was completely, perhaps even ridiculously, unprepared for what she was about to experience. Dislodged from her ordinary American life, Kim was now embedded in an out-of-control battle zone rife with danger and corruption by day, and an over-the-top war correspondents’ culture of party-hopping and romantic entanglements by night. It was a sink-or-swim situation … and Barker’s head was barely bobbing above water. But unwilling to give up, Barker made a willful journey from clueless cub reporter to savvy, frontline observer. In the process of trying to make sense of the absurd – both in her personal life and the war zone around her — Barker bumbled right into her true self and calling.
Her story, related in a frank, wisecracking memoir that was like no other account of life in wartime ever written, was lauded by critics. Reviewers and readers alike were lured by the book’s fresh take, no-holds-barred honesty and the incisively comic pairing of a totally inexperienced American woman with an unseen land of veils, secret sex lives and a convoluted global conflict that even the experts couldn’t get a handle on.
