raw

It's July 2002. After serving in Afganistan, First Lieutenant Mike Scotti volunteers to extend his term in the Marines to fight in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He is part of the Marine drive from Kuwait to Baghdad. He brings along a mini-camera to film starting from his shipping over to his return back to the States. It's a world of long waits and harrowing near-death action. It is raw. The guys have no filter. Mike's reasons for volunteering are duty, loyalty and even revenge for the sister of an acquaintance lost during 9/11. This is bottom up, not top down. These men are simply following orders. They are not political and accept their president's orders without question. The chaos and confusion is palpable as the initial welcome from Baghdad residents quickly fades. It's a compelling watch even in the future for its historical value.
