Outside the Wire: Documentary Series

http://www.outsidethewire.com

JD Johannes traveled to Iraq in 2007. This trip resulted in three documentaries: 'Danger Close', 'Anbar Awakens' and 'Baghdad Surge'.

'Danger Close' is an up-close, in-depth look at a complex attack by Al Qaida on small, distant U.S. Army outpost on the edge of the Euphrates river valley. JD Johannes was the only reporter to witness the attack and followed the US Army paratroopers into combat--nearly getting himself killed.

'Anbar Awkens' shows the greatest turn-around of the Iraq War--the tribes of Al Anbar province joining with the coalition to fight Al Qaida--from the perspective of the Jumayli tribe. The Jumayli tribe--with no prompting from the Coalition--turned on Al Qaida and engaged in a serious gun-battle with Al Qaida before formally joining with the coalition.

'Baghdad Surge' is a look at the surge from asphalt level. This episode follows a U.S. Army infantry Captain through a 'day-of-the-surge' and the modern three-block-war.

The interviews with Soldiers and Marines were conducted at the Combat Outposts they lived and worked at by JD Johannes.

With the exception of digital animations and brief clips of insurgent video--everything was shot by JD Johannes.

Nothing was staged, recreated or rehearsed. The bullets, bombs, blood and bad guys are all real.

Is this going to come on TV? or its only on DVD's?

[OutsidetheWireMovie]

Right now it's on DVD, but we are pursuing other options.

[MuslimGhost]

Pathetic piece of government propaganda aka domestic psyops. Im calling you fags out.

[OutsidetheWireMovie]

I guess we can expect comments like this from someone who puts their city as "The Jewnited States" in their YouTube channel profile...

[NoGuff]

muslimghost - Why do you live here in the USA? If the USA is so evil, why don't you live elsewhere?

[JusCruzing]

The muslim ghost sounds to me just like alot of the so called warriors of the different terror groups. They say they all want to die in battle. Look at the different videos just on you tube. Every time they are confronted by superior firepower they RUN! Osama has been doing it since 87 in Jaji. Almost surrounded by 200 Soviets 50 arabs RAN when they realized they were ready to be surrounded and killed. Does this remind anybody else out there of Tora Bora in 2001? They are all COWARDS!!!

[Terrr05]

What a dumb way of pronouncing Iraq. EYE-RAK couldn't be less Arabic.

[Technobanana]

Wow he said Iraq correctly..

[cabrame]

Would someone get me up to speed on all the white nigger talk that took place?

[cheshc00]

[RileyghostHunter]

@MEXFlGHTERS Facts like what? Fact is something that doesn't come out of your mouth due to assumption and fact should not be affected by personal hatred. I think you're talking about bias and criticism. So before you talk about fact, please educate yourself you overweight beaner....

[XF108FINALE]

@MEXFlGHTERS You know you're only making yourself look retarded so if I were you it's either come up with a good comeback or back out.. Your choice beaner.

[XF108FINALE]

@MEXFlGHTERS You sound desperate here. Take it easy beaner, you might turn to a bean burrito if your temperature goes too high. LOL

[XF108FINALE]

@MEXFlGHTERS I didn't criticize U.S you dumb beaner. I mean it's pretty understandable that you are incapable of comprehending of what you're reading but please don't embarrass yourself putting nonsense all over the place.

To those people who sees this comment, do you know that this beaner has been tracing all my recent comments just so he can try to make me look bad? Well, he put too much effort in to this so give him a stand up ovation. He says the same thing basically so don't stay tune XD

[FreakyPenguins]

this... IS Iraq.
