"Occupation: Dreamland is a grunt's-eye view of the current conflict that needs to be seen, regardless of a viewer's political persuasion. It's not perfect, but it doesn't have to be.”
-- Ty Burr, The Boston Globe
“Straightforward and immensely powerful, the movie offers a blunt assessment of the war from soldiers currently fighting it, and their perspective is not pretty. Thoughtful and frank, the young men interviewed are also confused, demoralized and scared. Sometimes they behave like heroes, and sometimes they do not. But their courage is evident, not least in the way they candidly evaluate their own activities. It seems only fair that we take the time to hear what they have to say.”
--Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Directed by: Ian Olds and Garrett Scott
