Director Deborah Scranton gave digital video cameras to 10 members of the New Hampshire National Guard before their unit shipped off to Iraq in 2004. She didn't go herself because she wanted it to be about the soldiers, through their eyes. The War Tapes is the movie they made and it's the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves on the front lines in Iraq. The soldiers shot over 800 hours of tape during their deployment. Another 200 hours was shot back home by the director and her crew. This is a movie I definitely want to see. It is playing now in select theaters across the country.
