I Am an American Soldier

This is the inside story of what happens to a company of American soldiers - ninety-two air assault troopers from the 101st Airborne Division - who are sent to fight, suffer and try to survive a full year's tour of duty in Iraq. From the final stages of their training and farewells at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, through their deployment to Baghdad, Samarra and Tikrit, and then the return home to their loved ones, this is a truly searching examination of the combat, the life and death struggles, and the profound changes in the lives of professional soldiers who set out with hope and confidence of making a difference in Iraq.
One of the heroes of the film is Brian Little, a New York City police officer who risked his life for the people of Samarra every day for a year in his work as a National Guard soldier and police officer.
The British/American filmmakers were given unprecedented access to the soldiers for fourteen months: from September, 2005 to November, 2006, and accompanied them into the most dangerous places. The result is a feature film that examines the Iraq War with ruthless scrutiny, with honesty and fairness, and reveals courage of an uncommon kind.
World Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival, New York April 2007 more info on www.iamanamericansoldier.com

The most important thing I was ever taught as a soldier is...."Soldiers train for war, pray for peace, and are forever ready."
