Has anyone seen the feature documentary Hell and Back Again? It reminds me a lot of this short documentary. Both also nominated for an academy award. I'm sure if you liked this film you will like Hell and Back Again. hellandbackagain. com/

I remember when Bush was president and at one point ALL of the documentary nominees were about the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. Forward to today, and only one or two are, and of course, they don't win. Following Obama's election, the winner was a documentary about French dudes crossing the Twin Towers on wires nearly 40 years ago. HELLO!!! Anyone home?!?! Can you not smell the liberal bias? Are we going to be so blind and pretend that there is no Liberal bias at the Oscars? Give me a break.

A true coward only allows approved responses. War is not perfect. It is ugly. It is raw. And it WILL produce mistakes. The rules of engagement are only getting more strict as our bleeding heart liberals watch videos such as this and restrict our military even further, consequently making it more dangerous for them to serve overseas in that environment. This is a true crime to the many who have fallen, brutally, at the hands of our enemy in the middle east.

Lies breeding more lies. A true picture of disgust.... it is sad that many will watch this and believe it as "truth."

Being a real believer in what wikileaks is all about, ill be downloading this documentary as soon as its available. You didnt expect me to buy it did you :)

[PitorKaz]

"See the Academy Award nominated short films at a theatre near you" .. i don't know.. paying to watch the "truth" doesn't seem quite right.

Congratulations on your recent nomination.

Awesome . How do I get a copy? A lot of people who can't handle the truth. A lot of people in denial.

Thank you for your comment, rangergirl. This is a short movie about one soldier's experience, so it obviously will not conform to other's subjective viewpoints. As I mentioned in the discussion last night, my hope is that the attention granted to this film will spur interest and backing in a longer piece which will incorporate the perspectives of others. But as a movie that gets into the mind of a fighter who has a change of heart about his own part in war, I believe my film stands on its own.

[rangergirl56m]

Oh there are so many things I could say. My husband(an Iraqi War Vet) & I watched your documentary last night. We almost walked out. The truth about what happened that day does need to come out, but you focused the entire documentary on one of those who is NOT telling the truth! I feel that by only interviewing McCord, you have given just as skewed version as wikileaks did with their edited video! You have amazing skills as a director, I just wish you would have shown more than one side.

[jefferson17399]

Awesome . How do I get a copy? A lot of people who can't handle the truth. A lot of people in denial.

[standingovation]

lies, lies, lies, and more lies. how about next time you decide to do a movie, pick someone who really served in combat. and not just one "incident". i will not stop until this movie is banned world wide. who ever made this movie isnt telling the truth. and mccord is full of it.

[branyn1]

This is crap. The guy had a RPG, and the idiot cameramen were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They knew the risks, and they chose to go anyway. This time it just didn't work out for them.

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

Thanks, Cubachik!

CONGRATULATIONS on the just-announced 2012 Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature for "Incident in New Baghdad"!

Horrific events like the ones shown in the "Collateral Murder" video happened regularly McCord said. Remember, Wikileaks´ "Collateral Murder" video shows some 40 mins of a decade of war! Just imagine all the collateral murders we haven´t seen yet and never will see! Think about the atrocities committed by private armies like Xe (Blackwater before), that have more free hands than the regular army.

Good work!!
