The War Tapes [U.S Marines in IRAQ]
Deborah Scranton's The War Tapes is an intimate and visceral trip into the landscape of war. There are no seasoned camera operators. There is no crew. There is no safety net. Instead, three soldiers are given three cameras, and they film their tour of duty over the course of a year: in the most dangerous part of the most dangerous country in the world, Iraq.
Scranton allows the story to be told by the characters themselves, breaking down the wall that usually exists between the audience and the film. From deployment, to combat, to homecoming… we are in their boots.
