Just saw a screening . . . i was blown away. I didn't expect to see so much actual footage of the battle. (about 90%) Its going to do well in theatres because its about strategy not politics. Like one of the soldiers said,
History Channel did a program on the Battle of Falluja using mostly CGI and from a strategic POV. Its an amazing story plus I'm sure this doc will provide subtext. Can't wait.
Natalie Foster interviews Director Michael Pack and Producer Stephen K. Bannon about their their new war movie The Last 6000 Meters. The two deadliest battles of the Iraq War occurred in 2004. The Battle of Najaf was fought in the South against the Shiite Mahdi militia. The Battle of Falluja was fought in the West against Sunni insurgents. These brutal urban conflicts were not the high-tech battles the military had prepared for after the first Gulf War in 1991--but they are the face of modern warfare. This film tells the story of these battles, not through narration, but through the words and deeds of those who fought there.
