“Body of War” is a brilliant documentary that comes about as close to masterpiece as any other film about war in recent years. As moving as “Deerhunter”, but perhaps more powerful because it’s all about real events. Must viewing for all Americans. Thanks.
I’m so glad that they made it available via video; hope many more people watch it.
Thanks for your well-stated review, Jerry.
Thanks Lo. It took me a while to summon the endurance to watch this, superb work.
Thanks for watching it, David. It’s an excellent film; one that all potential recruits should have to watch before signing the dotted line to join up.
