Plot Summary

Documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield turns his attention to the war in Iraq in this fiction film. Using a real-life military massacre in Haditha as his starting point, Broomfield tells the stories of young American soldiers and Iraqis that is sympathetic to both perspectives in the conflict. A shoot-and-run style and a cast of nonprofessional actors--made up of ex-soldiers and Iraqi civilians--add authenticity to this chaotic drama.
