Cultures collide in this dramatization by Nick Broomfield. The focus is on the events leading up to the massacre of 24 Iraqi men, women and children by American Marines. After two Iraqi men plant a roadside bomb, a Marine convoy speeds across the desert and reaching Haditha a Humvee is destroyed by the buried IED, ending in the death of a popular officer. November 19th 2005 is no longer an ordinary day of routines. A violent house to house search in vengeance ends with brutal and deadly retaliation. So are the ways of a war that rages and the unheard cries of innocence are degraded to collateral.
Some will find the inaccuracies blatant. But two nations of people are horribly locked into a war that plods along. Not taking any human respect away from the Marines of Kilo Company or the Iraqi that clashed...a tale of war has two points of view. This film is just how Mr. Broomfield sees it and deserves your attention.
Cast members include: Elliot Ruiz, Nathan De La Cruz, Vernon Gaines, Antonio Tostado, Duriad A. Ghaieb, Yasmine Hanani, Oliver Brytus and Andrew McClaren.
