DVD: Body of War

$29.00
DVD-BOW

Senatorial speeches and a running tally of pro-war votes are interspersed with intimate footage of Tomas as he navigates through the acute physical and emotional impacts of his injury. A testament to the power of parallel images, the film adeptly juxtaposes the sanitized vantage point of Washington with raw personal experience. In the end, this contrast forces viewers to question the motives, methods and ever-rising cost of the conflict in Iraq. A deeply moving and bracingly honest film, BODY OF WAR narrates a story that must be heard – a story of courage, conviction and resistance.
