The War Tapes
Director: Deborah Scranton

Straight from the front lines in Iraq, THE WAR TAPES
is the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves.
These soldiers bypassed Pentagon supervised media to
share their experience like never before. Funnier,
spicier, and more gut wrenching than news reports,
this is Operation Iraqi Freedom as filmed by Sergeant
Steve Pink, Sergeant Zack Bazzi and Specialist Mike
Moriarty. Steve is a wisecracking carpenter who
aspires to be a writer. Zack is a Lebanese-American
university student who loves to travel and is fluent
in Arabic. Mike is a father who seeks honor and
redemption. Each leaves a woman behind - a girlfriend,
a mother and a wife. 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. These soldiers got the story that 2,700 embedded
reporters never could.

Friday, August 4 - 6pm, 8pm
A "no holds barred" Q&A with "Soldier with a Camera"
and Specialist Mike Moriarty will follow the Friday,
6pm screening.
Saturday, August 5 - 3pm, 5pm, 7pm
Sunday, August 6 - 3pm, 5pm, 7pm
