6th Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq

Killer Blue:

National Public Radio hosts this series of video excerpts from “Killer Blue,” a documentary by two Associated Press photographers who spent four months with an Army platoon that goes by that name. In the segments “Family,” “The Fight,” “My Friend,” and “Move On,” human faces are put on war in a way you won’t soon forget.

Bad Voodoo’s War:

This documentary, which you can watch in full online, is somewhat similar to “Killer Blue” in that it documents the war as it is experienced by soldiers fighting it. This documentary, though, was made by the platoon members themselves.

Life and Death in the War Zone:

Not everyone in uniform is fighting the war. In “Life and Death in the War Zone,” another documentary you can watch in full online, learn about the lives of combat doctors, helping US and allied soldiers, as well as injured and sick Iraqis.
