Three soldiers offer viewers a close-up and deeply personal view of the war in Iraq in this documentary. Filmmaker Deborah Scranton gave digital video cameras to three National Guard volunteers who were called up for duty in Iraq and asked them to keep a visual diary of what they saw and how they felt about it. The three men who took Scranton up on her offer were Sgt. Zack Bazzi, Spc. Mike Moriarty, and Sgt. Steve Pink. Bazzi is a Lebanese immigrant who previously fought in Bosnia and Kosovo and loves the thrill of battle, though he has serious reservations about the nature of the American occupation and feels most of his fellow soldiers are dangerously unaware of the habits and customs of the Iraqis. Moriarty is a husband and father who volunteered for service after the terrorist attacks of September 11; he's a proud warrior and loyal to his fellow soldiers, though he's come to hate the sting of battle. And Pink is a carpenter and would-be writer who joined the Guard to help raise money for college; his dark sense of humor often rises to the surface as he confronts the uglier aspects of the conflict. Scranton took the footage shot by the soldiers (sometimes uploaded by Internet just hours after a battle) and fashioned it into a story of three different men united by a single cause who are fiercely loyal to their fellow fighting men and women, even as they become increasingly cynical about the causes and motivations behind the war. The War Tapes was screened in competition at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For The War Tapes
New Review For Movie The War Tapes
This is an important film, but be prepared for shocks.Tom Keogh-Seattle Times
Arguably the most vital and eye-opening documentary yet made regarding the United States' current military entanglement.
Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
The film is one of the most urgent and immediate nonfiction works we may ever see.
Terry Lawson-Detroit Free Press
No matter what you think of the U.S. presence in Iraq, the film will disturb or startle or dismay you.
Amy Biancolli-Houston Chronicle
A riveting firsthand look at the conflict on the battlefield, in the barracks, and on the home front, unfiltered by any partisan prejudice.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
A remarkable film, a you-are-there document that allows us to worry about the soldier who's risking his life even as we ponder the rights and wrongs of this military engagement.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie-Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The direct-cinema authenticity that a soldier's eye gives to this largely street-fought war...lends The War Tapes its primary strength.
Jay Antani-Cinema Writer
Intentionally or not, the movie locates a strain of ignorance to go along with the bravery
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion
They expected tension; what they didn't expect was to serve out their year-long deployment as, essentially, the world's most targeted grocery store security.
Amy Nicholson-I.E. Weekly
The director has managed to shape real people's lives into a drama, without imposing ideological filters, and without sacrificing what makes them real.
Karina Longworth-Cinematical
Gripping, boring, disturbing, amusing, enlightening and frustrating.
Rex Roberts-Film Journal International
A scary diary of their increasingly dehumanized daily lives (mostly spent protecting supply convoys on the dangerous highways) and the movie evokes the futile larger war around them in a series of haunting images.
William Arnold-Seattle Post-Intelligencer
What's here speaks for itself, and what it says is often surprising and deeply unsettling, regardless of one's political leanings.
Wade Major-Boxoffice Magazine
Informative as most of the partisan-produced, anti-war documentaries that we've seen in the last several years have been, none match this one for its wide-ranging scope and lived-it-at-ground-zero truth.
Bob Strauss-Los Angeles Daily News
...it would make a great double bill with the recent My Country, My Country, which looks at things from the other side.
Andy Klein-Los Angeles CityBeat
The film succeeds because of its refreshingly low-key emotional approach and its refusal to impose character arcs or political agendas on its subjects' footage.
Tim Grierson-L.A. Weekly
Universally Worthwhile -- not just as a documentary on this war. But as a documentary on this war, I think it's quite interestingly balanced.
Ross Anthony-Hollywood Report Card
A painfully intimate snapshot of who they are, the damage they inflict on an unseen enemy and what they endure while doing so, in all its absurd, dehumanizing and ennobling contradictions.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
As raw and disturbing as it is wry and satirical, the resulting portrait is a powerfully unique film that goes beyond commenting on Operation Iraqi Freedom to become a provocative meditation on war itself.
Toddy Burton-Austin Chronicle
The edited footage has an intensity and immediacy you won't find on cable news networks.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
The apolitical film serves us well for its candor.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
In its portrait of the conflicted men who served their country, it honors the complexity and challenges of the battle that continues overseas.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press

Movie Overview For The War Tapes
Straight from the front lines in Iraq, THE WAR TAPES is the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves. These soldiers bypassed Pentagon supervised media to share their experience like never before. Funnier, spicier, and more gut wrenching than news reports, this is Operation Iraqi Freedom as filmed by Sergeant Steve Pink, Sergeant Zack Bazzi and Specialist Mike Moriarty. Steve is a wisecracking carpenter who aspires to be a writer. Zack is a Lebanese-American university student who loves to travel and is fluent in Arabic. Mike is a father who seeks honor and redemption. Each leaves a woman behind - a girlfriend, a mother and a wife. Through their candid footage, these men open their hearts and take us on an unforgettable journey, capturing camaraderie and humor along with the brutal and terrifying experiences they face. These soldiers got the story that 2,700 embedded reporters never could.TagLine The War Tapes
