Online documentaries on the Iraq War

Part of the America at a Crossroads documentary series aired on PBS earlier this year, Operation Homecoming is a unique approach at representing the war. Taking writings from soldiers deployed in Iraq, the producers of Operation Homecoming created a series of visual vignettes, attempting to create a wide variety of visual approaches to the writings and the subject matter. The visual styles range from animation, cinema verite, re-enactments, and CGI graphics.

The videos are terrifying, moving, heartbreaking.  Nonfiction personal narratives from soldiers in Iraq about their experiences there, set to video.   http://kcet.org/explore-ca/web-stories/iraq/operation/
