NEW YORK VIEW
Richard Robbins's Iraq-war documentary features interviews with soldiers based abroad and dramatic readings of their letters and poems by a cast of actors including Robert Duvall, Josh Lucas, and Aaron Eckhart.
CINEMASOURCE SYNOPSIS
An exploration of the firsthand accounts of American troops through their own words, the film is built upon the 'Operation Homecoming' initiative created by the National Endowment for the Arts to gather the writing of soldiers and their families who have participated in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Through interviews and dramatic readings by such actors including, Robert Duvall, Josh Lucas, Beau Bridges, Blair Underwood, Justin Kirk, Aaron Eckhart, Chris Gorham and John Krasinski, the film transforms selections from this collection of writing into a deep examination of the experiences of the men and women who are serving in America's armed forces. At the same time, it provides context to these experiences through a broader look at the universal themes of war literature.
