Three Soldiers Shoot One Unforgettable Movie
2006 Best Documentary Feature at Tribeca Film Festival
One of the most praised films and winner of the Best International Documentary competition at this year's Tribeca Film Festival was "The War Tapes," a story that follows three New Hampshire National Guardsmen as they slog their way through a year on the front lines in Iraq. Each soldier uses a video camera to record both the horror of war and his comments. Meanwhile, Goshen, New Hampshire, director Deborah Scranton and her crew filmed the day-to-day lives of the people the soldiers left at home. New York Times film critic Stephen Holden writes: "Once encountered, you will never forget these three -- Sergeant Steve Pink, Sergeant Zack Bazzi, and Specialist Mike Moriarty -- or their loved ones. They're the bedrock of who we are as a nation." thewartapes.com
