The film consists of footage shot by Metze during his deployment to Iraq and was edited by Don Swaynos.

The film won the Grand Jury Award at the 2008 DeadCENTER Film Festival and was an Official Selection of the 2007 Austin Film Festival and the 2008 GI Film Festival.

Reception

The film was called by The Austin Chronicle an "immensely powerful documentary" [1] . "In this day of sanitized media coverage and “pool” journalism, you’re probably never going to see a chronicle this raw and uncensored.", wrote the Houston Press. [2]
