War Tapes

Sounds like an interesting film. An Iraq War documentary shot by soldiers out in the field.

As a result, War Tapes feels far more raw and political than network coverage. One of its main targets is KBR, a Halliburton-owned military contractor that the soldiers suspect of war profiteering.

'Why the fuck am I out here guarding this truck full of cheesecake?' asked Mike Moriarty, another of the film's central subjects. 'The priority of KBR making money outweighs the priority of our safety.'

But War Tapes is no Michael Moore rant. Scranton said one of her main goals was to deepen and complicate our conception of the war, not politicize it."
