A viewing and discussion of The Iraq War Tapes will be presented by PSU’s Model United Nations Tuesday, December 4 from 8-10:30 p.m. in Boyd 144.
In March 2004, just as the insurgent movement strengthened, several members of one New Hampshire National Guard unit arrived in Iraq with cameras, including Sergeant Steve Pink, a 2002 PSU graduate.
Straight from the front lines in Iraq, The War Tapes is the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves. It is Operation Iraqi Freedom as filmed by Sergeant Pink, Sergeant Zack Bazzi and Specialist Mike Moriarty and other soldiers. While they battled unconventional forces, they recorded events that conventional journalists have been unable to capture. They mounted tripods on gun turrets, inside dashboards and used POV mounts on their Kevlar helmets and vests. They filmed over 800 hours of tape, all of it in Iraq. In the end, The War Tapes is a complex, heartbreaking, and completely unique opportunity for millions to witness first-person experiences of war and the experience of homecoming.
The film will be followed by a guest speaker and discussion regarding the war in Iraq. Refreshments will be provided.
