Operation Homecoming trailer

this clip came from a pbs series called "crossroads" which unfortunately chose not to air a documentary about moderate muslems. the reasoning was that showing that would aknowlege that muslems like abu izzadeen and osama bin laden are extreme.

Old news; in fact, if you had watched the series, you would see that it aired a couple of shows about moderate Muslims. There were several shows on various topics that didn't air in April but will air later.

No, Catt001. I've seen the film. There's nothing stereotypical about it. Unbelievably honest and visceral. And not necessarily political, either. The "cartoons," which are only in a part of the film, are very effective. This is a must-see!

There's very few who have managed to make movies about war that don't border on the romantic. No doubt it was the intention to make it honest, but no one-sided perspective can ever be unpolitical. It might be honest compared to FoxNews... but from a non-American perspective? The animation, regardless of the intent, comes across as pure propaganda.

I agree. This film has changed my minds about war. Absolutely.

Hmmm... looks interesting. It'll definately give a pretty unique perspective though... my main issue though is with those cartoons. They've got a pretty stereotypical portrayal of the Iraqis there... there's probably going to be some people complaining about that.

This looks like it will be moving and powerful. I'm looking forward to it.

Hi all,

This film is different from "Muse of Fire." "Muse of Fire" is more focused on the NEA's program, was made by a different company, and won't be airing on TV. "Operation Homecoming" includes readings & interpretations of 11 pieces of writing. A long version will have some theatrical screenings. A shorter version will air on PBS on April 16 as part of the series "America at a Crossroads."
