As conceived and directed by filmmaker Penny Allen, this documentary gestated from a memorable experience that Allen had on a Transatlantic airline flight. Seated next to an American military sergeant returning home from Iraq, she began discussing the details of the war with her fellow passenger, and he shared with her various grisly images that he had snapped on the battlefield. Allen couples these same photographs with other videos and snapshots on the same subject, to bring home the raw devastation of war and its irreversible impact on those who take part. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
