I watched only a part of this on TV & was riveted. It can be seen online. The HBO documentary about wounded soldiers surveys the physical and emotional cost of war through memories of their "alive day," the day they narrowly escaped death in Iraq.
In a war that has left more than 25,000 wounded, ALIVE DAY MEMORIES: HOME FROM IRAQ looks at a new generation of veterans. Executive Producer James Gandolfini (The Sopranos) interviews ten Soldiers and Marines who reveal their feelings on their future, their severe disabilities and their devotion to America.
This is a MUST SEE. There's extensive information on each of the intervieews too.
It speaks to only one part of the cost of this war, or whatever it is, occupation, get rich scheme, experiment, you name it. It's a heart-wrenching account. If this is so moving, imagine what Iraqis who've been victims of the whole ordeal have been through, the tens of thousands of unnamed Iraqis.
If anyone knows of documentaries or podcasts of Iraqi stories, I'd appreciate a link. PBS has had some & I believe there are some DVDs out there.
