THE WAR TAPES is the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves. It is Operation Iraqi Freedom as filmed by Sergeant Steve Pink, Sergeant Zack Bazzi and Specialist Mike Moriarty. Each leaves a loved one behind - a girlfriend, a mother, a spouse. Through their candid footage, these men open their hearts and take us on an unforgettable journey, capturing camaraderie and humor along with the brutal and terrifying experiences they face. The film, directed by Deborah Scranton, and produced by Robert May (THE FOG OF WAR) and Steve James (HOOP DREAMS) recently won the award for Best Documentary at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.
“Caught in the Crossfire - The Untold Story of Falluja”

(panel discussion/audience Q&A to follow; panel to include Sergeant Zach Bazzi from the film The War Tapes and locals)
Independent filmmaker Mark Manning and Iraqi humanitarian aid worker Rana Mustafa traveled to Falluja, un-embedded, to live with the refugees of Falluja and experience life from their point of view, returning with them to their destroyed city after Operation Phantom Fury in November 2004. They experienced the checkpoints, witnessed the devastation of thousands of homes, shops and mosques, and documented the horrors of the siege as recounted by those who survived inside the city during the battles. This film brings to the audience word of the attack on Falluja and the plight of its innocent victims largely ignored by the American government and media.
