Zguy28 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers who took video cameras to Iraq to make a new film called "War Tapes" have strong, varied and sometimes surprising views but they agree on one thing -- Americans don't know enough about war. Edited from 800 hours of footage filmed over a year in Iraq, the documentary which had its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this weekend aspires to change that. "There's three individuals, one is pro-Bush (and) pro-mission, another ... is more cynical and the third is somewhere between the two," director Deborah Scranton said at a panel discussion on Iraq and the media at the festival. The film has graphic scenes of the aftermath of bombs, moments of tension when the soldiers come under fire, gallows humor, such as a discussion about whether a severed limb looks more like a hamburger or raw pot roast, and plenty of subversive and cynical comments about the war. "In many ways they embody a lot of the conflicts that America struggles with about this war, with one important difference, they're fighting it too," said editor Steve James.
