BattleGround: 21 Days on the Empire's Edge (2004)
Excellent look at IRAQ
28 May 2005 - 6 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
Since the mainstream media won't report on IRAQ this documentary takes a piercing look at the impact of the war and occupation on the people of IRAQ and the US soldiers who are there.
One stunning vignette in the film points to the little discussed fact that the US used nuclear weapons in IRAQ. Not one big bomb, but 120 tons of depleted uranium used on the tips of armor piercing shells. Nonetheless, the countryside is littered with radioactive residue from these shells with a long term health impact for Iraqis and US soldiers.
What a sobering film that all Americans should see. You can't help but walk away with a sense of the humanity and family bonds of Iraqis.
