SYNOPSIS:
The documentary feature that stunned audiences at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. The film tells the stories of a half-dozen American heroes – ordinary men and women who heeded the call for military service in Iraq – as it charts recruitment and training, combat, homecoming, and the struggle to reintegrate with families and communities. The terrible conflict in Iraq, depicted with ferocious honesty in the film, is a prelude for the even more challenging battles fought by the soldiers returning home – with personal demons, an uncomprehending public, and an indifferent government. As these battles take shape, each soldier becomes a new kind of hero, bearing witness and giving support to other veterans, and learning to fearlessly wield the most powerful weapon of all – the truth.
