“Truth is the first casualty of war”
Private Angel Salazar (Izzy Diaz) films his unit's tour at a checkpoint in Iraq, hoping the footage will get him into film school. His video diary sits beside news broadcasts, soldiers' emails and interviews with Iraqis, all of it loosely based on the 2006 killings in Mahmoudiyah. Brian De Palma builds the film from those found fragments, as in Casualties of War, and shot it in Jordan.
