Redacted
Truth is the first casualty of war
Directed by Brian De Palma
Produced by HDNet Films, The Film Farm
A deliberately fragmented, provocative found-footage examination of the Iraq War's moral and human costs, structured as a pseudo-documentary that interrogates truth, media complicity, and the dehumanizing machinery of conflict.
A fictional documentary discusses the effects the Iraq war has had on soldiers and local people through interviews with members of an American military unit, the media, and local Iraqis.
