Iraqi insurgents bomb a convoy of US Marines, resulting in the death of their most popular officer. Enraged by their loss, his young Marine buddies carry out a brutal retaliation. Their violent house-searches lead to the massacre of 24 people, many of whom are women and children - tragic casualties of a war they cannot control.
Nick Broomfield's acclaimed dramatic and moving recreation of this fateful day in 2005 uses real people, real locations and was shot as much as possible in real time. |
